Series: A Victorian Mystery

Inspectors Frey and McGray return in this Jonathan Creek-style mystery set in Victorian Scotland

A woman pleads for the help of Inspectors Frey and 'Nine-Nails' McGray. Her son, illegitimate scion of the Koloman family, has received an anonymous death threat - right after learning he is to inherit the best part of a vast wine-producing estate.

In exchange for their protection, she offers McGray a cure for his sister who has been locked in an insane asylum after brutally murdering their parents- the miraculous waters that spring in a small island in the remote Loch Maree.

The island has long been a sacred burial ground, but the legends around it will turn out to be much darker than McGray could have ever expected.

Reviews for Loch of the Dead: Frey & McGray Book 4

This is wonderful. A brilliant, moving, clever, lyrical book - I loved it. Oscar de Muriel is going to be a name to watch. -- Manda Scott The Strings of Murder is one of the best debuts so far this year - a brilliant mix of horror, history, and humour. Genuinely riveting with plenty of twists, this will keep you turning the pages. It's clever, occasionally frightening and superbly written - The Strings Of Murder is everything you need in a mystery thriller. Crime Review
