A Fiona MacLeish Crime Thriller Book 2
Her hands bang desperately on the window of Fiona’s car door as the wind flaps her pink hair sideways. Through the glass the distraught mother shrieks, ‘Please, you have to find her! You have to find my little girl.’
When eight-year-old Cait Yorke goes missing on a remote island off the coast of the wild Scottish Highlands, police officer Fiona MacLeish is quickly sent to investigate. But a gale is gathering force, and Fiona becomes increasingly concerned for a little girl braving the strong winds alone. As Fiona questions the locals, she soon realises that they are hiding many secrets. What is this island, and who really lives here?
Then a boat violently crashes off the coast of the island. On board, Fiona discovers the body of a man who has clearly been murdered. But the killer is nowhere to be found. The only place they can be is on the island with no way out.
Realising a killer is trapped on their island, tensions amongst the locals and Fiona begin to rise. As the gale rages on and the body count continues to rise, will Fiona find the young girl and the killer before they strike again?

Review
Fiona is back and her workload has doubled. She to solve not one, but two cases this time as she is the only police officer on the island due to stormy weather conditions. How can you choose between looking for a missing child and finding a killer? That’s a very tricky question…
But Fiona would not be Fiona if she would not come up with solutions to solve both. I think she does herself short. She talks about the mistakes she’s made, but in my opinion she did not make any. She had to make a lot of decisions and it’s hard to know what to give priority to. She always does the best she can and that’s what I admire her for.
Once again she throws herself into her work and even when she hurts herself, she still keeps on going. Her goal is to keep the plates spinning even if she has to jump through hoops to achieve this.
I often have a favorite character in a book. This time I want to nominate a least favorite person. The prize goes to DI Baird with the maximum of the points. The way she treats Fiona is disgraceful. It’s always easy to criticize someone when you are not there to assess the situation…
Still a bit too slow paced for me, but very enjoyable. 4 stars
Thank you
