When Dr Neil Carver is found drowned in two feet of water at a holiday cottage on Loch Eil, everyone assumes a tragic accident — too much wine, a stumble in the dark. DCI Sarah Lynch sees the bruising on his wrists. Someone held him under.
Five friends. Five suspects. All of them are lying.
Sarah builds her case against the group's dominant personality — the man with the money, the temper, and the debt Neil owed him. But when that theory breaks apart, a darker truth emerges. Neil was about to expose a secret one of his friends has been hiding for twenty years. A secret worth killing for.
In the Scottish Highlands, where trust runs deep and silence runs deeper, Sarah must unpick three decades of friendship to find the one person who crossed the line from betrayal to murder.
The quiet ones are always the most dangerous.
The Quiet House is the fourteenth book in the Detective Sarah Lynch Mysteries. A standalone Highland crime thriller.
Genre: Mystery
