The Drunk Women Solving Crime tackle the Mount Stewart Murder of 1866

So it's a typical Sunday, when I suddenly learn from a niece in Waterford, Ireland, that a book that I wrote a few years back has just been the subject of the latest edition of the Drunk Women Solving Crime podcast, recorded at the Edinburgh Fringe on September 25th...! 🤣🤣🤣

Episode 58 looks at the brutal murder of my 3 x great gran Janet Rogers, nee Henderson, in 1866, which happened at Mount Stewart Farm in Forgandenny, Perthshire, and about which I wrote a book in 2012 (The Mount Stewart Murder: A Re-Examination of the UK's Oldest Unsolved Murder Case). It's Scotland's longest unsolved murder case by a modern police force, and has a few twists and turns along the way.

Apart from the fact that there are questionable pronunciations of words such as Forgandenny and Crichton, and a recurring obsession with ploughman's lunches, I'm still very honoured to have had it featured as the main story! 😂😂😂😂

The book itself, written in 2012, can be purchased from the History Press at https://www.thehistorypress.co.uk/publication/the-mount-stewart-murder/9780752460208/ in print and ebook formats.
