Never have murders been so rife in the wilds of Scotland—with the possible exception of the Scottish play, to which Barker pays tribute. Janet kills a slug, a cat kills his owner’s deplorable husband, a rotten English boy tries (and fails) to kill the same cat, a weasel kills a rabbit, and eventually someone or something will kill Janet. None of these are spoilers, and yet not a word is wasted on these scenes.
