The story is set in Pitkirtly, a small town near Fife in Scotland in a small community specifically the PLIF (Pitkirtly Local Improvement Forum) chaired by Christopher Wilson. The PLIF are perfectly happy regularly meeting at the local pub drinking and chatting but where nothing is ever decided and everything stays just as it is. Enter Amaryllis Peebles who has decided to retire to Pitkirtly and joins the PLIF whose members grudgingly accept her but their peaceful existence is about to be disrupted. Before long a local community worker disappears and Christopher finds himself being targeted by mysterious strangers.
I downloaded this for free via the Amazon site I was expecting a cozy mystery set in a small town but was pleasantly surprised by the inventiveness of the plot, the interesting characters and nice use of humour. As the story progressed I became more involved in the characters and genuinely liked them not just intrigued by the mystery all of the characters had their own little storyline. And just when you think everything should be tied up there's more! There are several more in the Pitkirtly series and I have downloaded them from Amazon as I want to continue reading more about Pitkirtly and its inhabitants.
