Murder mysteries set in Scotland ?

What about a classic from A J Cronin ,the 39 Steps

39 steps was a John Buchan thriller. His sister, O. Douglas is much less well known but wrote some novels set in her beloved Scottish Borders. Worth a read.

What about Alexander McCall Smith's 44 Scotland Street. It's the first of a series set in Scotland.
If you'd like something historical, what about The Flight of the Heron by D K Broader about the Jacobite uprising.
Both good books but very different from each other.

Am just re-reading my dad's copy of Whisky Galore!

D K Broster. Blooming autocorrect.

Black Widow by Chris Brookmyre is a good read.

Presumably you want something with depth, if not the Hamish MacBeth books by M C Beaton are enjoyable.

I do know that cant think why I wrote Cronin,I was talking about how he lived in a house near me which had a palque on the wall so I wrote the wrong name ,sorry

Thank you so much everyone. I’ll be sure to find something amongst those. Might try samples on Kindle to help me decide on a couple..

Lilian Beckwith? Set in or around the 40's /50's, these are semi-autobiographical stories of a middle-aged Englishwoman who settles on a fictitious Hebriddean island.
I think The Hills is Lonely was her first book.

Jane Tulloch's tales of an Edinburgh department store could bring back memories.

Peter May - The Black House (first book in a trilogy) - police thriller.

"Marelli", I had forgotten about Lillian Beckwith, I read "The Hills are lonely" when I was only a slip of a girl. You have tempted me to re-read. Thanks.

Anne Cleves Shetland novels

Posted too soon
Kate Atkinson or Ian Rankin

Mary Stewart. Stormy Petrel set on an imaginary island off Mull.

The Lilian Beckwith books are lovely. I also had forgotten about them, and read them as a young ‘housewife’. I used to have the whole series and enjoyed them very much. Thanks Marelli for the reminder.

I too enjoyed the Lilian Beckwith books years ago

Marelli...You've taken me on a trip down memory lane I'm another one who loved the Lilian Beckwith books...so many years ago...Must re-visit.

eebeew...I agree with all of the above. I'd also recommend a modern Scottish novel I've just finished reading: A Unicorn on the Meadows by Linda Menzies. It tells the story of Mary McGregor, born in 1950, who remembers her previous lives in the 18th and 19th centuries, where there have been tragedies and injustices which have blighted lives and which need to be resolved. Although set in Edinburgh, the novel deals with universal themes of injustice, divisions in society, family issues and retribution... I loved it!

There's also Christine Marion Fraser, although I'm not sure her books are still in print. They're not challenging to read, though. More just lovely beach/rainy Sunday family sagas.

Outlander/Cross Stich by Diana Gabaldon. Ok, it's about time travel and now a TV series but a really interesting page turner!
