Set in the Scottish Highlands soon cut off from all, Mirren an antiquarian book hunter, with one book found which made her famous has now been set the task of finding a book which will enable the current Laird from getting buried in debt and having to sell the castle.
The clues are myriad and set in mazes and in poetry in rhyme, which makes no sense to anyone but Theo who is Mirren’s rival and the people who remain have to try to make sense of cryptic clues lying around.
You have to like treasure hunts, mazes, clues and falling down castles to like this story. But it’s a very likable one with lots of humour in a gorgeous setting.
