That'll Do
Welcome to Glen Sprackle, where the hills are steep, the secrets are deep, and everyone knows a little too much about each other.
That'll Do is a sharply observed, quietly hilarious novel set in the Scottish Highlands. When American couple Bobby and Cindy buy Glen Sprackle Estate, they expect Highland bliss, not mysterious wildlife and a team of staff with more baggage than the estate's attic.
Charlie, the head keeper and self-declared "rutting stag," has a past tangled up with most of the estate's women. Andrew, the Factor, doesn't really know what a Factor does. Neither does anyone else.
There's long-standing tension with walkers, wild campers, and rewilders who don't know when to leave well alone. And then there's the stag. Towering, majestic, and utterly untouchable, some call him cursed, others a legend. But the locals know better: he's a warning. A watchman. And those who ignore him don't always make it home.
Newcomer Robert arrives looking for a fresh start, or is he hiding something? As shoot days descend into farce and ancient forces stir in the glens, it becomes clear: life in the Highlands isn't for the faint-hearted, the faintly dressed, or the faintly competent.
With biting wit and quiet warmth, That'll Do follows the twists and turns of life at Glen Sprackle, where the women are fierce, the men are flawed, and even the dogs have opinions.
