Back of my copy of book:
Gianetta is hoping for a tranquil interlude on the Isle of Skye. Bruised by divorce from her writer husband, she seeks solace in the island’s savage beauty. But a vicious murder throws the community into confusion – and then her ex-husband arrives…
from Goodreads:
Midnight on Skye: a young crofter’s daughter is cruelly and ritually murdered on the bleak Scottish mountainside. Very soon Gianetta Brooke, a guest at the deceptively idyllic Camasunary Hotel nearby, finds herself tangled in a web of rising fear and suspicion. When she discovers that her ex-husband has booked into the same hotel, the peaceful holiday for which she had hoped takes on quite another complexion.
This is one of my favorite Mary Stewart books. I love her interesting settings in many of her books. I've also loved This Rough Magic, The Gabriel Hounds, and Touch Not The Cat. Oh and Airs Above The Ground. I first read her books when I was a teenager and have loved them ever since (and that was a long, long time ago).

Kay I've only read this one and Rose cottage which I enjoyed also. I have The Ivy Tree on the shelf, a gift from Katrina over at Pining for the West. I would love to get and read all her gothic romances. I'm not really a fantasy reader so will skip the Merlin Series. My granddaughter might like them when she gets a year or two older!

I think I read all the Mary Stewarts my library had once upon a time when I was pretty young. In truth, I remember loving her gothic romances, but I don't remember which one was my very favorite. though NINE COACHES WAITING comes close.
