Publisher's Summary

Autumn has come and gone on Scotland’s Isle of Glenroth, and the islanders gather for the Tartan Ball, the annual end-of-tourist-season gala. Spirits are high. A recently published novel about island history has brought hordes of tourists to the small Hebridean resort community. On the guest list is American antiques dealer Kate Hamilton. Kate returns reluctantly to the island where her husband died, determined to repair her relationship with his sister, proprietor of the island’s luxe country-house hotel, famous for its connection with Bonnie Prince Charlie.

Kate has hardly unpacked when the next morning a body is found, murdered in a reenactment of an infamous unsolved murder described in the novel - and the only clue to the killer’s identity lies in a curiously embellished antique casket. The Scottish police discount the historical connection, but when a much-loved local handyman is arrested, Kate teams up with a vacationing detective inspector from Suffolk, England, to unmask a killer determined to rewrite island history - and Kate’s future.

ABSOLUTELY best American accent performance!!!!

I have “read” hundreds of audiobooks, most of which have British Isles accents (English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh). Ruth Urquhart’s performance/narration of A Dream Of Death is OUTSTANDING!!! From her “book credits” opening, I gather that she’s Scottish. Her American accent performance is practically perfect; I doubt that anyone not American or Canadian would notice her occasional accent on the wrong syllable :-) :-) :-) (I.e., on what we Canadians/Americans consider the “unimportant syllable”, s/as the British easyCHAIR vs. our EASYchair ;-) ) I played a bit of this book for my hubby; when I told him it was NOT an American speaking, but someone attempting to sound American, my hubby started in surprise, looked at me like I was playing a trick on him, and exclaimed, “What?!? No way!!!!”
