That Woman in the Croft

That Woman in the Croft No one knew where she came from. No one knew why she chose the abandoned croft at the edge of Darnaway Forest. And no one could explain why every man in the village seemed drawn to her. When a local gamekeeper is found dead in the woods, the whispers begin almost immediately. Some blame jealousy. Others point to an old Highland legend—the Baobhan Sith, a beautiful woman said to lure men into the darkness. Detective Inspector Fiona MacLeod believes in evidence, not folklore. But every witness leads her back to the same place… the lonely stone croft hidden among the pines, and the enigmatic woman who calls it home. As fear spreads through the village, another victim is attacked, ancient superstitions take hold, and the line between myth and murder begins to blur. The deeper Fiona digs, the more she realizes someone is using the village’s darkest fears to conceal a very human crime. But one question refuses to go away. Who is Siofra Ravensway? Atmospheric, suspenseful, and steeped in Scottish folklore, That Woman in the Croft is a haunting mystery where every answer leads deeper into the mist, and the greatest danger may not be the legend everyone fears—but the stranger no one truly knows.
