Death By Appointment - Dr Cathy Moreland Mystery Mairi Chong

Dr Cathy Moreland, recuperating from a severe mental breakdown, hopes to find peace in a remote Scottish coastal village. While there, she learns that, thirty years ago, its community had been devasted when a young woman threw herself from a nearby rocky headland into the sea. She was clutching her new-born child.



During Cathy's stay, another tragedy occurs.

Cathy must draw on all of her courage to unearth the truth. A deadly malice creeps the winding lanes that surround the hamlet. Its stealthy footfalls are tender and reassuring but its true intent is as cruel as the sea itself.
