THE REAL KILLER ISN’T JUNE: A Cozy Highland Murder Mystery

By Caspian Reed

Ten people. One locked door. And the obvious suspect didn't do it.

When retired baker Maggie Doyle wins a weekend aboard the Highland Belle, she expects scenery, scones, and a quiet escape from grief. Instead, a landslide strands the train in the Scottish Highlands, and its famous owner, Eleanor Voss, is found dead in a dining car locked from the outside.

There are no police, no phone signal, and nowhere to go. Everyone aboard has a secret, and everyone has a reason to want Eleanor silenced:

A charming nephew drowning in debtA furious chef fired that very morningA lord with a failed deal and a leaking castleA frightened young maid caught with a stolen broochA doctor haunted by a fifteen-year-old mistakeA devoted secretary who seems to hold the whole train together

As suspicion falls on the maid, Maggie notices what everyone else overlooks: two teacups, a watch stopped at the wrong time, a missing pen, and a will that leans the wrong way. A baker knows that the smallest mistake is the one that spoils everything.

The real killer isn't June. But who is it?
