In the Highlands, every secret leaves a shadow. The Strathavie Mysteries - Prequel and Book 1
In the wild beauty of the Scottish Highlands—where mountains, lochs, and weather can be as unforgiving as the secrets people keep—mysteries lurk in the most unexpected places. In this dramatic setting, perplexing mysteries bring Detective John Prentice and podcaster Melanie Harris together in stories full of suspense, humour, and unexpected twists. The first book, TANGLED WEB, features John as he untangles a web of lies and secrets that neighbours are desperate to keep hidden. This book is the prequel and sets the background for the series. In the second book (Book 1 of the series, BURIED SECRETS), John finds himself reluctantly paired with Melanie Harris, a popular middle-aged podcaster whose approach is the very opposite of his own. Yet, to his surprise, her fearless curiosity and insight begin to complement his methods. Together, they uncover not only startling truths but also the beginnings of an unlikely friendship. Blending suspense and humour, the Strathavie Mysteries deliver character-driven Christian fiction—where every clue points not just to the truth of the case, but to the truth of the Bible. Perfect for readers who love clean mysteries with depth, the Strathavie Mysteries combine the charm of cosy fiction with the tension of classic whodunits—stories that entertain, absorb, and inspire in equal measure. This series will keep you turning the pages—and thinking long after the case is closed.
