An excellent addition to the series once again. Rachel has to deal with a dead man found in the local cemetary that they struggle to identify, a missing journalist, her home being ransacked, and some strange links to the case her mother was working on before she was murdered. She finally gets some answers about her mother's murder but, boy, was there a twist of note! Brilliant.
Thanks to Netgalley, Storm Publishing, and Morag Pringle for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Rachel McKenzie has a case where she feels the victim is connected to an investigation her mother was involved in before her disappearance. Then there is another death, and Rachel is certain of her suspicions.

The third book in this series, and I was engrossed in the plot. Rachel is fearless, and so is Selena, her friend. Rachel also has gut feelings that are seldom wrong.

Do yourself a favour and read the series from book 1. Well worth it. I can't wait for the next book!

Thanks to Netgalley and Storm Publishing for the ARC

I have been enjoying this series, set in Scotland, and with their completely different Judical system.
Because it fascinates me I have been looking up words and titles that we do not use in our Country.
This is the third book in this well written, fun series, and Rachel is still trying to learn more about the
long ago murder of her mother, for which her father remains in prison. Becoming a fiscal ( there is not
really a comparable position in the US) and an Attorney gives her the ability to do her own continued
investigation. However, at this point things get frightening and she’s against admonished to stay away~
To mind her own business and keep from poking the bear, as people sometimes say!
Rachel cannot do this, which makes for another really good book! This book dome with some
pretty amazing surprises and it is a fantastic 3rd book in the series.
My thanks to my friends at Storm Publishing who, via NetGalley, provided a digital copy
of,the book for review purposes..

Fiscal Rachel McKenzie is a woman devoted to her job. Always keen to give her best, she is unlike others in her role in that she is caring enough to visit the scene of a suspicious death and to form her own opinions. As a woman with a past, Rachel is constantly on guard and that sometimes affects her decisions.

This is book 3 of the Rachel Mackenzie series and is too reliant on past events to be a good standalone. Too many past references interrupt the flow of the book, and whilst I can understand the appeal if you have read the series, as a one off it can be annoying. Many books within a series are perfectly acceptable as individuals, but this one is not.

Not a particularly good read for me, but I know this series has a strong following and I’m sure that fans of the author will love this book, as the writing and plot are appealing, hence the rating I have given.

2.5*

Thank you NetGalley and Storm Publishing.

Thank you Storm and netgalley for ARC copy. Twisty, unpredictable, unputdownable scottish thriller. Just when you think youve this worked out it tumbles you off in another direction, an author to watch out for.

Thanks to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for this Advanced Reader’s Copy of The Final Truth by Morag Pringle due to be published January 8, 2025.

As a prosecutor in the Scottish Highlands, Rachel is no stranger to death. But when a body is found in a local cemetery, she’s confronted by a case that hits far too close to home. The victim is connected to an investigation Rachel’s mother was involved in before her own mysterious disappearance years ago. And Rachel is seized by hope that she might finally discover the truth. She, along with her friend Selena, seeks to uncover the truth. Will they find the truth, or be in more danger for themselves?
I had read the first two books in this series so was anxious to read this one. It kept me thoroughly interested and engrossed as I tried to figure out what the outcome would be (because I usually can’t.) Just when I thought I had figured it out, another twist would come. It has everything you would want in a crime thriller!
