Deep water . . .

Jean Fairbairn is off to write a story about the haunted waters of Loch Ness. She has an appointment with American scientist Roger Dempsey, who is using his latest gadgets to try and prove that the legend of the monster, Nessie, is true.

Jean’s business is checking out legends. Some hold water, some don’t, and some are about much more than H2O.

But the troubled water she finds at Loch Ness is colder than its snow-melt and darker than its peat-stained depths. Sonar and other remote-sensing tools might find Nessie, but what scientific instrument can plumb the mysteries of death?

Troubled, too, are the waters that run between Jean and Detective Inspector Alasdair Cameron. Will another encounter bridge the depths that lie between them? Or will their story end at the hands of a murderer, in the icy water of a loch that never gives up its dead?

...there’s time to savor the complexities of the story and take in the scent and sense of Scotland. The author has a wonderful sense of humor and a gives us a story that moves right along and a heroine who doesn’t take herself too seriously.

Diana Vickery, Cozy Library

Carl creates vivid images of the Scottish scenery and her characters ring true. There is an element of woo-woo involved in figuring out the mystery, but it seems appropriate to the setting. This is a thoroughly enjoyable addition to the series.

Reviewed by Shirley H. Wetzel for Over My Dead Body.com

With the enticing title of THE MURDER HOLE, Lillian Stewart Carl brings us another Fairbairn/Cameron mystery, filled with familiar faces, as well as some interesting and thought provoking new ones, who keep Jean Fairbairn and Alasdair Cameron hopping.

Lucele Coutts, NovelTalk

Our leading characters are well penned and the secondary cast add flavour to the tale. The legend of Loch Ness has been around for a long time. Will it finally be put to rest? Will the mystery of what lies beneath the deep finally be solved? These are intriguing questions that you will just have to read the book to find out.

Excellent Scottish Murder Mystery

Reviewed in the United States on 14 May 2011

Reporter and reluctant sleuth, Jean Fairbairn heads off on a new assignment for her magazine, "Great Scot." The assignment is the discovery, or at least the festival, of Nessie at Loch Ness, Scotland. It is based upon the history of a man in 1933 making the 'discovery' of a stone from Pictish days.

As in the earlier book, we find Dr. Fairbairn very researched and educated in regards to her subject which gives us, the readers, wonderful background and historic facts to savor as Ms. Carl weaves a storyline of suspense, discovery, and murder around us.

Chief Inspector Alasdair Cameron is on hand at the festival due to death threats having been made towards one of the hopeful discoverers, Dr. Roger Dempsey. We quickly learn there are shady persons involved almost in every facet of the festival/discovery digs.

In addition, there is an old-fashioned but, lovely to enjoy, romance blossoming between Jean and Alasdair. It takes us back to old days when courtship was an art to be learned and practiced. I find it lovely and filled with it's own special suspense.

I truly loved "The Murder Hole" as a complete novel and took extra time in reading it as I did not want the book to end. I did like the ending though.

Great writer--good series

Reviewed in the United States on 1 March 2015

Carl writes movingly about Scotland's present and past with an interesting premise that the major character, Jean Fairbairn, is an American expat. The stories have some supernatural effects, but they work--they fit in with the histories that are presented in each of the books. Nobody's perfect, including the major characters, but they are intelligent and complex. The plots are also somewhat complex, a feature that I personally like. The touches of Scottish language style highlight the differences between characters without being overbearing or annoyingly in your face.
