“This is an extraordinary book, set in a remote part of early 19th century Lowland Scotland. What is most extraordinary is the cliché-ridden and sexist showing of some of the male characters: violent, selfish, coarse and lusty. The women endure such behaviour in subservient positions.” Geoffrey Harfield for the Historical Novel Society

Remote southwest Scotland, early nineteenth century.

Seventeen-year-old Janet Scott loves books and learning, and is happy living at the schoolhouse where her grandfather is the master.

But when tragedy strikes, and her grandfather dies suddenly, everything changes.

Now an orphan, she is sent to work for brutish farmer, Wull Foster. Life with no one to protect her is tough, and Janet experiences first-hand the dangers which can befall a young woman.

So when Josiah Saunders — an old friend of her grandfather’s — takes her in, they both relish the companionship.

BUT THINGS CANNOT STAY THIS WAY FOREVER.

Janet is forced to choose between her love for penniless lawyers’ clerk, Fingal McLauchlan, or Josiah, who offers her marriage and security.

A DEEPLY TOUCHING TALE OF ONE WOMAN’S STRUGGLE IN VICTORIAN SCOTLAND

Perfect for fans of Marian Keyes, Kate Thompson, Kate Blackadder, Beth Andrews, Louise Allen, Theresa Le Flem, Rosemary Gemmell, Jodi Taylor, Nadine Dorries, Tania Crosse and Dilly Court.

What readers are saying about Gwen Kirkwood:

“Very good.” Frances

“Beautifully written and engaging.” Ratana

THE SETTING
The Lincolnshire Fens: great open skies brood over marshes, farmland, and nature reserves. It is not easy terrain for the Fenland Constabulary to police, due to the distances between some of the remote fen villages, the dangerous and often misty lanes, and the poor telephone coverage. There are still villages where the oldest residents have never set foot outside their own farmland and a visit to the nearest town is a major event. But it has a strange airy beauty to it, and above it all are the biggest skies you’ve ever seen.

MEET DETECTIVE INSPECTOR MICHAEL ANGEL. AN OLD-SCHOOL POLICEMAN WHO SOMETIMES RUBS HIS COLLEAGUES UP THE WRONG WAY. HE’S GOT HIS FLAWS, BUT HE NEVER GIVES UP ON A CASE.

A CAULIFLOWER AT THE SCENE OF THE CRIME

The women of Bromersley live in fear that they are on the murder list. Bodies keep turning up — women in their sixties, always in the same disturbing pose, with a cauliflower in their laps and rice in their mouths.

Inspector Angel discovers a list with the murdered women’s names on, but forensics lead nowhere. Witnesses report an odd-looking woman wearing a sheepskin coat. No one can find her.

Then, in the middle of the night, Angel receives a phone call . . .

A BRILLIANTLY ABSORBING MYSTERY FULL OF TWISTS

Perfect for fans of R.D. Wingfield, Colin Dexter, Peter Robinson, Reginald Hill, and Agatha Christie.

THE DETECTIVE
Michael Angel is over fifty, married to Mary. They don’t have any children. They are a devoted couple but the relationship sometimes breaks down due to his job or due to the problems of Mary’s sister who lives in Edinburgh and imposes on their easygoing natures. Michael works at the small local police station and is devoted to defeating crime, murder, and dishonesty of any sort and has no personal ambition beyond being a good husband and a successful detective. He doesn’t want promotion with all the routine office work and stress that goes with it. He is incorruptible but always short of money. He is always at odds with his immediate chief, Detective Superintendent Horace Harker, who is lazy, a hypochondriac and not a bit interested in assisting Angel in serious police work.

The DI’s patch covers everything from council housing to opulent enclaves, high rise flats to sleepy suburbs and sleazy back streets.
