Master Detective August 2023

Description

It’s the summer holiday season, a time usually associated with sunshine and happiness. For the Walters family from Nottingham a trip to beautiful Argyllshire in the summer of 1978 should have been a joy. Instead, the stunning surroundings of their hotel at Tarbert became the backdrop for a murder investigation. The victim: their 14-year-old daughter Linda-Jayne.
