Seaside murder novel casts dark shadows

More than 30 years after Shona McIver was murdered in a Scottish seaside town, her brother and best friend meet again at a school reunion.

The tragedy has cast a shadow over their lives, but when DNA shows the wrong man was convicted of the murder, their relationships and emotions are thrown into turmoil.

A brilliant, well-worked debut from Baillie.

Sewing The Shadows Together, by Alison Baillie, published by Matador, £8.99.
