It will have blood, they say: blood will have blood.

1934, Dumfriesshire: Castle Bewer is haemorrhaging cash. In a last-ditch attempt to keep the candles lit, the Bewer family instructs a motley band of players to lay on a performance of Macbeth in the castle keep. Society lady - and sometimes detective - Dandy Gilver is brought in to ensure all is not undone.

But something wicked this way comes . . .

When she arrives, Dandy is instead tasked with finding the Cut Throat - a long-lost ruby necklace that is supposedly bound by a curse. As family ties unravel the deeper Dandy digs, it isn't long before a body is unearthed . . .

A brilliantly thrilling and witty cosy historical mystery set in a Scottish castle in the 1930s. Perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie and Richard Osman.
