Gitta Edelmann

Finola has just moved to Edinburgh and she's more than a little excited. After turning her whole life upside down, she's now a detective and her first case is not long in coming. At first, she's only supposed to find out if Amanda, a friend of her boss Anne, is being cheated on by her husband. But when Amanda's uncle disappears unexpectedly, Finola quickly travels to the west coast of Scotland to follow up on a lead, even though Anne suddenly insists on taking over the case herself. What began as a harmless search for a missing gardener soon becomes a matter of life and death - for Finola too!

About the series:

Young Scot Finola MacTavish has moved from the picturesque Isle of Skye to Edinburgh to work as a private detective in Anne Scott's agency. Along with computer whiz Lachie, the two lady detectives solve a series of baffling cases. Finola soon realises that she has a knack for investigation and shadowing people - preferably in disguise. What's more, she always has her granny's herbal medicine to hand, and the drops in question are much more than just a headache remedy ...
