The Blue Hackle — Lillian Stewart Carl

NEW YEAR'S, NUPTIALS…KNIVES

Dunasheen Castle is the romantic site for the wedding of American journalist Jean Fairbairn and her Scottish beau, former detective chief inspector Alasdair Cameron. Resplendent with history, artifacts and its own wailing ghost, the weathered castle and grounds belong to Alasdair's longtime friend Fergus MacDonald. He's desperate to turn the castle into a profitable B and B, but the cost may be murder.…

When a guest is stabbed to death on the estate's rocky shore, Jean wonders whether an antique dirk -- missing from the castle collection -- could be the murder weapon. Soon, she and Alasdair are searching for clues among the guests, who all have secrets, motives and poor alibis. As bad blood from Dunasheen's past spills into the present, Jean can only hope she and Alasdair are able to wed before death does them part.
