A Fiona MacLeish Crime Thriller Book 3
An agonised scream cuts through the roar of the snowstorm. Horrified, Fiona twists around to look at the group of hikers behind her. There are four people, where there should be five…
When police officer Fiona MacLeish stumbles upon a group of fellow hikers in dire trouble in the dramatic peaks of the Scottish Highlands, she has no choice but to help. One of the party has fallen off the path, lying below with the crisp white snow around his head starting to turn scarlet.
Fiona soon learns the potential accident is actually a deliberate murder. But who would want to hurt this man and why? With visibility worsening and the snowstorm getting worse, Fiona and the group of hikers make it just in time to a nearby shelter. As Fiona questions those in the party, she realises that everyone is keeping secrets about their relationship with the victim. Any one of these hikers could be the killer…
When another brutal attack happens, it is clear that the murderer is still among them.
Trapped in a shelter at the top of a mountain, Fiona must move fast and identify the killer before they strike again. When her role as a police officer is revealed, Fiona herself becomes a target. With tensions rising and food running out, she knows she doesn’t have long until more people die. But can she find the killer and save herself and the innocent hikers in time?

Review
There she is again, Fiona MacLeish and she brings with her … bad weather. 🙂 This seems to follow her around. If you are a fan of locked room crimes stories, you will love this series. The locked room is not really only one room in these cases but Fiona is always trapped due to the bad weather with a killer and his victims past and present. A flood, a storm or a snow blizzard, you name it and Fiona is stuck in the middle of it often without any means of communication or help from the outside. Thank God, she always has one person she can count on to have her back more or less.
This time snow on a mountain is her warden, but Fiona would not be Fiona if she would sit down and give up. Oh no, no way. She struggles, she fights, she is like a cat with nine lives, but maybe she has used them all up this time? She really finds herself in a very dire situation, but she never thinks about stepping down. Will this be it now though?
You cannot not admire this strong lady. I like the numerous theories that float through her head during her investigations.
I also had the feeling she was less hard on herself and I loved that.
The two previous books were very enjoyable too, but in my opinion this one is the best so far. 5 stars
Thank you
