Death at the Kyles of Bute — Myra Duffy

With no other work in prospect, the last minute offer of a contract as guest speaker at the rebuilt Kyles of Bute Hydro hotel persuades Alison Cameron to go back to the Isle of Bute. She soon realises she's made a terrible mistake. Unexplained sounds of sobbing, sudden illness among the guests and then the first death make her realise this is an offer she should have refused.
