Connie Berry is yet another author I’ve had the good fortune to “meet” through Sisters in Crime Guppies. Seriously, for $12/year, that association is worth its weight in gold. And now, it’s my absolute pleasure to introduce you to Connie’s debut mystery, and the first in the Kate Hamilton Mystery series.

Synopsis: Autumn has come and gone on Scotland’s Isle of Glenroth, and the islanders gather for the Tartan Ball, the annual end-of-tourist-season gala. Spirits are high. A recently published novel about island history has brought hordes of tourists to the small Hebridean resort community. On the guest list is American antiques dealer Kate Hamilton. Kate returns reluctantly to the island where her husband died, determined to repair her relationship with his sister, proprietor of the island’s luxe country house hotel, famous for its connection to Bonnie Prince Charlie. The next morning a body is found, murdered in a bizarre re-enactment of an infamous crime described in the novel. The Scottish police discount the historical connection, but when a much-loved local handyman is arrested, Kate teams up with a vacationing detective inspector from England to unmask a killer determined to rewrite island history—and Kate’s future.
