From the shores of Loch Ness.
This is the first book by Ms. George that I have read. I now have a lot of catching up to do! Loved the location, the shores of Loch Ness. Drummond and his team are all very well developed. Throw a couple of murders into the mix along with a suspicious pharmaceutical company, and of course Nessie and stolen dinosaur bones. A lot going on but very well written!
I received an ARC. This is my honest review.
