Silent waters hide the deepest secrets

A wildlife photographer plummets to his death above Fingal's Cave. A young fisherman vanishes without trace. The body of a marine scientist is pulled from the sea, his last recording a haunting piece of evidence. Three seemingly unconnected events on the Isle of Mull draw Private Investigator Teàrlach Paterson back to his childhood home.

Hired by the photographer's widow to investigate her husband's death, Teàrlach quickly unravels a tangled web of family feuds, forbidden love and deep betrayals. The photographer’s death was no accident and with the missing fisherman's father dying in hospital, Teàrlach must find his son before it's too late.

But as a violent storm closes in, Teàrlach discovers that some will do anything to keep their darkest secrets buried…

From a CWA New Blood Dagger Longlist author and McIlvanney Best Scottish Crime Novel Finalist comes an atmospheric murder mystery. Fans of LJ Ross, Ann Cleeves, and Val McDermid will be mesmerised by The Graveyard Bell.

Great scottish mystery.

I love the characters. Of course I love the accent. and I like not knowing how it's going to end. Some mysteries are so obvious.

Convoluted

After listening to The Girl in the Loch, which was great, I found the narrative wandered and was distracted by the characters' musings. The main characters lacked presence and the book relied too much on the location to maintain interest when the multiple plots felt weak. I found it confusing to follow.
