Review Quotes:
"Superb. As the title suggests, murder and mayhem ensue. But there is so much more, including revenge, retribution, redemption, horror, and humor. Perfect for reading during a long winter's evening by a fire with a wee dram of a favorite single malt in hand, these stories will transport mystery lovers to an unforgettable landscape." --Library Journal (starred)
"A fine anthology of original crime stories. Fans of contemporary Scottish crime fiction will be well pleased."--Publishers Weekly
