Miss Pink at the Edge of the World: A Crime Novel

Summary: Crime on the Scottish coast
Review: Miss Pink is off on a well-earned holiday to a little Scottish hamlet, populated by exactly 6 full-time residents. It's in a lonely, rocky part of the country surrounded by cliffs and, at the moment, killer whales.

While she is there, a group arrive wanted permission to climb one of the cliffs off the coast. The owner, a friend of Miss Pink's, grants permission. But the lead hiker is soon revealed to be a menace. And soon after that, he's dead, his climbing partner with him. Was it an accident? If not, who's responsible?

I liked this book a lot. The characters and the setting were really good. But the technical details of the rock climbing and the ropes and all that soon had me totally lost, so I missed a bit at the climax. But I'd like to read more by this author. Well worth reading, especially if you are a climber or have been to Scotland.
