The Damselfly by Susi (S.J.I.) Holliday, Susi (S.J.I.) Holliday

5.0

Having already read 'Willow Walk' the second in the Scottish Banktoun series I was highly anticipating this the third in the series 'The Damselfly' - and I loved it! Having picked it up and started reading I noticed that I was already a third of the way through and still couldn't get enough. I love all things Scottish so I was on a win win straight away.
This is a brilliant psychological murder mystery that has an excellent storyline that is believable and easy to follow with twists and turns along the way. I was saddened and shocked to discover the murderer, the author covered this perfectly capturing all emotions. The characters are great and I particularly like Louise and Davie in his new roll as detective.
I have to say I was stunned at the epilogue chapter, never expected that and truly hope for a favourable outcome!
I missed out on book one 'Blackwood' but I'm now going to go back and read that as there are mentions eluding to this story within 'The Damselfly' that had me intrigued. A fabulous 5 stars that I would highly recommend either as a standalone or as book three in the series, it really is a good book and I look forward to reading more by SJI Holliday.
I would like to thank the author and Helen at The Book Club on Facebook for my paperback copy in return for an honest review.
