A disastrous date. A stolen comic. And a woman who won't mind her own business.
Bella McCaa is back in her beloved Scottish seaside suburb of Broughty Ferry, waiting for the man she loves to join her. Buoyed by the happiness she's found, Bella persuades her friend Celeste to dip a cautious toe in the dating pool.
But the date goes spectacularly wrong. Celeste is crushed and family heirlooms vanish, including a rare 1939 first-edition children's comic worth thousands. Wracked with guilt, Bella launches her own investigation. Armed with lock-picks, questionable disguises, and a healthy dose of midlife rage, she discovers an unexpected talent for sleuthing and follows a trail of fraud, blackmail and long-held grudges.
When the stakes rise and her family are threatened, it becomes clear this is no simple case of a date gone wrong.
And as the truth edges closer, so do the questions about her own future. What if the life Bella's been waiting for isn't the one she's meant to live?
Red Flag on the Seashore is a gloriously witty Scottish cosy mystery for fans of Janet Evanovich' Stephanie Plum series and The Thursday Murder Club. All the elements of the perfect cosy crime story with a Tartan twist.
