What you need to know before your trail

Marjorie Crowe lives in Kilgoyne, Scotland. The locals put her age at somewhere between 55 and 70. They think she’s divorced or a lifelong spinster; that she used to be a librarian, a pharmacist, or a witch. They think she’s lonely, or ill, or maybe just plain rude. For the most part, they leave her be.

But one day, everything changes.

Local teenager Charlie McKee is found hanging in the woods, and Marjorie is the first one to see his body. When what she saw turns out to be impossible, the police have their doubts. And when another young person goes missing, the tide of suspicion turns on her.

Is Marjorie the monster, or the victim? And how far will she go to fight for her name?

Travel Guide

Kilgoyne, Scotland

The village of Kilgoyne where the novel is set is fictional but there is a paragraph in the novel that shows you where you could look for it:

Kilgoyne sits in the flat carse of West Central Scotland, wedged between the lush green hills of the Campside Fells to the east, the deep blue expanse of Loch Lomond to the west, and the trees and trails of Queen Elizabeth Forest to the north. South – twenty five miles and a thousand light-years away – is Glasgow.
