Murder in the Highland Mist

When Detective Inspector Cameron MacLeod returns to the misty village of Glenmorven, he expects a quiet investigation into a local woman's death. What he discovers instead is a web of secrets hidden beneath the Highland charm—and at the center of it all is Agnes MacKenzie's beloved bakery. Maisie MacBride died trying to protect her family's reputation, but her death exposes a shocking truth: traditional Scottish recipes are being used as cover for an international smuggling operation. From innocent shortbread biscuits to ceremonial Burns Night haggis, Scotland's most treasured culinary heritage has been corrupted by greed and crime. As Cameron follows a trail of hollow oatcakes and doctored clootie dumplings, he uncovers a conspiracy that reaches from the ancient stone walls of Blackmoor Castle to the remote Highland moors. With Agnes MacKenzie's generations-old recipes stolen and perverted, and the cozy village of Glenmorven under threat, Cameron must navigate treacherous Highland terrain—both literal and figurative—to stop the criminals before they destroy everything the community holds dear. But in the shifting Highland mist, nothing is as it seems, and the most innocent traditions can hide the darkest secrets. A cozy mystery that blends Highland atmosphere with authentic Scottish recipes, perfect for fans of traditional British mysteries and Scottish culture.
