Thanks Jane for posting this - I'd better use the opportunity to confess this story is set in the middle of Covid lockdown - some readers didn't like this but maybe this will have worn off with the passage of time. Anyway, it fits into its place in the series.
Unsafe Distances: When they find evidence of intruders in the Cultural Centre one night, Amaryllis, Jock McLean and Hamish enter the building, only to stumble across a body on the floor of the library.

The third Edinburgh Women's Fiction Festival took place last Friday and Saturday and I was delighted to be part of the blogging team once again. The festival is celebration of writing for, by, and about women. It is an inclusive event which welcomes everyone who finds joy in reading women's fiction. The festival aims to showcase authors of genres that are often overlooked, and to give readers the opportunity to connect with their favourite writers.
