A Double Death on the Black Isle by A.D. Scott

In the quiet Scottish Highlands of the 1950s, a small-town community is rocked by two sudden and violent deaths. When a prominent local man and a young woman are both found dead under suspicious circumstances, the village of Strathbane turns toward gossip and fear. For newspaper editor Joanne Ross, the tragedies reveal the hidden tensions beneath the town’s seemingly peaceful surface — jealousy, pride, and long-held grudges. As she digs deeper into the investigation alongside the Highland Gazette team, Joanne must confront not only dangerous secrets but her own doubts about love, loyalty, and belonging in a world that is slowly changing around her.
