This was a good mystery. I basically was interested in reading it because it was set in Scotland. I'm not sure I would have picked it up otherwise.

This is the first novel I have read by this author and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The book could be classified as historical fantasy. Based roughly on the character of Sir Walter Scott, the author admits to taking liberties in creating the story. With ghosts and people who are blessed with the ability to see and converse with them, the tale begins with the discovery of bones in the loch. No one knows who that woman might have been but the mystery is solved through magic in the final pages of the book. The story is imaginative, full of delightful characters and flows quickly to a climax that is surprising. Very good read indeed.
