A darkly funny and unexpectedly chilling Scottish detective novel from internationally bestselling crime writer Stuart MacBride.

Move over Miss Marple...

The great and the not-so-good are gathered at Skirivour Castle Hotel, in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, for the wedding of the year—but they weren’t expecting Detective Sergeant Roberta Steel to crash their party. And get horribly, horribly drunk.

The whole valley's been cut off by a massive thunderstorm and the phone lines are down, so when the father-of-the-bride's body is discovered—decoratively impaled on a stag's head in the hotel lobby—it's up to DS Steel to find out whodunit. Which isn't easy when you've got a monstrous hangover and only a world-weary sergeant and a halfwit police constable for backup.

With no witnesses and every wedding guest a suspect, Roberta will need to use every one of her little grey cells if she's going to catch the killer and get out of there alive.
