Tartan, Treasures and Trouble

A British Cozy Murder Mystery with a Female Amateur Sleuth

By: Victoria Tait

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When murder is served at a Scottish Burns supper, it’s not the haggis that hides the deadliest secret. Can an amateur sleuth catch the killer before they toast another victim?

Antiques expert, Dotty Sayers, is thrilled to return to the Cotswolds to reconnect with old friends and run the auction house where her career began. She and her friend, Sergeant Keya Varma, organise a traditional Burns Night celebration, but things go awry when one of their guests meets his end before the first whisky is poured.

When the new police inspector is pushed aside by headquarters before she can crack the case, Dotty can’t resist following her own leads. As she digs deeper, she uncovers the victim's tangled relationships, jealous spouses, and shady business dealings. But when a sensational newspaper article exposes the case, it threatens not only the investigation but also the auction house which Dotty has just been trusted to manage.

Can Dotty solve the case, or will the truth be drowned out by the skirl of the bagpipes?

In the next captivating instalment of the Dotty Sayers Antique Mystery series, Dotty’s return to the Cotswolds quickly leads to a challenging case. With heartwarming friendships, business relationships tested, and teamwork ultimately prevailing, this cozy whodunit serves up plenty of clues, suspects, and surprises.

The thourgh story line.

I enjoy this authors writing, stories and progression of her writing.The full development of Ditto and Zac and Aunt Beanie.

And the murderer is…

Someone who barely appears in the story until the author needed to pin the crime on someone. I suppose it was supposed to be a plot twist, but it felt lazy.

Annoying.

Surprisingly, the virtual voice wasn’t terrible. It wasn’t great, but it could have been worse. The computer very nearly made an effort at infection.
