 a> by <strong>Trisha Sakhlecha</strong><br />Most family reunions end in t
 ears. This one will end in murder. Meet the Agarwals\, who have gathered o
 n a private\, luxury island off the west coast of Scotland for a much-anti
 cipated family reunion: Raj\, the patriarch and a business tycoon\, is abo
 ut to announce to his wife and three surviving children the succession pla
 n for his&nbsp\;billion-dollar Delhi-based company. Shalini\, the fragile 
 matriarch and protector\, is ready to have her husband to herself after ye
 ars of sacrifice to the family business. Myra\, the golden child\, owner o
 f the island\, and host of the reunion\, is\, unbeknownst to her family\, 
 on the brink of bankruptcy. Aseem\, the son and supposed heir\, is torn be
 tween his love for his wife and duty to his family. Aisha\, the youngest\,
  a party girl whose antics are legendary\, can't pass up an opportunity to
  wreak chaos. And then there's Zoe\, Aseem's wife\, the outsider whose #In
 staPerfect life is built on a foundation of lies. They've all got secrets 
 that they would die to protect. Who will survive this high-stakes reunion\
 , and who will become a victim of their own greed? One thing is certain: t
 his family gathering will shatter more than just their illusions of unity<

 trong</strong><br />After slipping 150 years into the past\, modern-day ho
 micide detective Mallory Atkinson has embraced her new life in Victorian S
 cotland as housemaid Catriona Mitchel. Although it isn't what she expected
 \, she's developed real\, meaningful relationships with the people around 
 her and has come to love her role as assistant to&nbsp\;undertaker Dr. Dun
 can Gray and Detective Hugh McCreadie. Mallory\, Gray\, and McCreadie are 
 on their way to the Scottish Highlands for McCreadie's younger sister's we
 dding. The McCreadies and the groom's family\, the Cranstons\, have a comp
 licated history which has made the weekend quite uncomfortable. But the Cr
 anston estate is beautiful so Gray and Mallory decide to escape the stifli
 ng company and set off to explore the castle and surrounding wilderness. T
 hey discover that the groom\, Archie Cranston\, a slightly pompous and pri
 ckly man\, has set up deadly traps in the woods for the endangered Scottis
 h wildcats\, and they soon come across a cat who's been caught and severel
 y injured. Oddly\, Mallory notices the cat's injuries don't match up with 
 the intricacies of the trap. These strange irregularities\, combined with 
 the secretive and erratic behavior of the groom\, put Mallory and Duncan o
 n edge. And then when one of the guests is murdered\, they must work fast 
 to uncover the murderer before another life is lost</p>\n<p><strong>August
