Novelists at The Bakehouse: Catriona McPherson and Kate Tough

One up and coming. One up and come!

Appeared: Saturday October 25th

CATRIONA McPHERSON

Multi-award winning novelist Catriona was born in Scotland in 1965 and now lives in California. She has written nine detectives stories set in Scotland in the 1920s. The latest is the Aberdeenshire-set DANDY GILVER AND THE REEK OF RED HERRINGS.

THE DAY SHE DIED, currently long listed for Kirkus Book Of The Year, is set in Dumfries and at Gatehouse and draws heavily on her ten years of living in New Galloway and sitting on the beach at Sandgreen staring at the Solway.
"Keep the lights on and batten down the hatches, for McPherson's psychologically terrifying stand-alone demands to be read all night ... a top-notch tale of modern gothic suspense" Library Journal.
