About This Event
Join us at Criminally Good Books on Thursday, 12 March at 7pm for a gorgeously atmospheric night of cosy crime with author Gay Marris, celebrating her new novelThe Beasts of the Black Loch (RRP £18.99).
We’ll be hosting an interview with Gay, where she’ll talk about the inspiration behind the book, remote Scottish landscapes and how science, animal behaviour and murder mysteries all collide in her fiction. There’ll also be time for audience questions.
📖AboutThe Beasts of the Black Loch
In 10,000 acres of remote Scottish mountains and moor sits Dorcha Hall: a former hunting lodge tucked among ancient forests on the shores of the mysterious Black Loch. At night, lights glow from within, smoke curls from its chimneys and, in the forgiving murk of the gloaming, it looks almost magical. By daylight, though, the mouldering plasterwork and failing plumbing tell a far less romantic story…
Into this setting comes Dr Ava Dickins, a rigorous scientist and expert in animal behaviour, visiting her godson Andrew. Recently bereaved, Andrew has been yanked from a quiet academic life into owning Loch Dorcha, and he and his very new wife are determined to turn Dorcha Hall into a hotel. Ava isn’t at all convinced the evidence points to a happy ending.
