Description

Festive lights and holiday displays are popping up all over the Scottish Highlands city of Inverness. Over on Church Street, Rev. Daniel Darrow is busy trying to rein in the kirk's longstanding nativity display feud with the Old High Church up the road. All he wants for Christmas is more time with the bonny Ellie Gray who is home on break from university. But when the sudden arrival of his prodigal flatmate coincides with the body of a beloved parishioner washing up on the shores of Loch Ness, Daniel's hopes for a calm, cozy season become as elusive as the loch's famous monster. Now Daniel and Ellie must race to discover the true killer before the police lock away the wrong man or anyone else at Church Street becomes the next victim.

Reviews

"A smartly written, fun read, Loch and Key will transport readers to the outwardly tranquil Scottish Highlands at Christmastime. What could possibly go wrong in this idyllic setting? Author Daniel Miller puts his hero, the charming, slightly bumbling Rev. Darrow, through his paces by having him chase after a murderer, romance a bonny lass, and uncover a nefarious scheme. There's no shortage of lies, secrets, and didn't-see-it-coming twists in this fast-paced tale. But at its heart, it's also about something deeper: the power of friendships and the realization that people aren't always what they seem. I simply couldn't put it down."-Karin Fitz Sanford, author of The Last Thing Claire Wanted

"Lock and Key by Daniel K. Miller will keep you reading into the late night. It's a story that pits the honest instincts of a good heart against the garish ploys of an evil hand, the imitation of the natural against the intricacies of nature. It shows hidden strength rising from one who questions himself, and a gentle love. An easy and quick read that will coax you to turn the page one more time." - DonnaRae Menard, author of the Katelyn Took, It's Never Too Late series.

"Loch and Key is a mystery that will keep you hooked . . . as you wait to see the pieces of the puzzle come together." - Jordan Reed, author of The Wizard's Brew.
