The Blue Hackle (Jean Fairbairn/Alasdair Cameron Mystery) - Hardcover
Alasdair Cameron and Fergus MacDonald were childhood friends. Their fathers? caps carried a blue hackle, the badge-feather of a distinguished Scottish regiment. Now the feather in Fergie?s cap is the decaying Dunasheen Estate on the Isle of Skye. His desperate schemes to save his home depend on a collection of historic artifacts and a handful of paying guests who expect a traditional Scottish New Year celebration. For Jean and Alasdair, the bells of the new year are also wedding bells -- their rings are ready, their guests are invited, and the Gothic folly of Fergie?s chapel is waiting. Then a guest is found murdered, lying in blood that?s thicker than seawater.

From Publishers Weekly:
At the start of Stewart's spirited fifth mystery featuring American travel journalist Jean Fairbairn and her Scottish fiancé, retired detective inspector Alasdair Cameron (after 2009's The Charm Stone), the pair are happily anticipating their New Year's wedding on the Isle of Skye at Dunasheen Castle, owned by their friend Fergus "Fergie" MacDonald. They almost cancel their nuptials after the stabbing murder of Greg MacLeod, an Australian staying at the castle's inn with his wife. Jean later finds the murder weapon, an antique dirk stolen from Fergie's display of family weaponry. Was it wielded by Colin Urquhart, a hermit in love with Diana, Fergie's daughter; Scott Krum, a visiting American antique dealer; or some disgruntled local? Seonaid MacDonald, Fergie's ghostly ancestress (aka "the Green Lady"), interacts with Jean and Krum's young daughter, Dakota, to diverting effect. (Nov.) (c)
