Publisher's summary

Persuaded by his beloved companion to join her in a group tour of Scotland, Qwill expects to revel in his Scottish heritage while keeping Polly Duncan safe from the Pickax Prowler. Instead, his trip is cut short when a thief swipes a suitcase, the bus driver disappears, and a fellow tourist is found dead, all in the same day.

Although the town of Pickax is in a tizzy over the recent events, Qwill has other, more puzzling worries on his mind. Who is the fellow still following Polly? Why is Koko licking Qwill's photographs of Scotland and tackling him on the apple barn stairs? Upon investigating the secret life of the deceased and the bizarre behavior of one of the tour's members, Qwill's sensitive moustache tells him one thing: more trouble is on the way.

The ending that wasn't there

Mr. Guidall did a fine job of narrating. This wasn't one of Ms. Brain's better stories, in my opinion. .. too many loose ends, especially with the ending.

Leaving Home is Seldom a Good Idea

Traveling for me is a hassle and it certainly was for the travelers in this book. I am glad that Quill and Polly got home safely. I wonder if they will ever "tie the knot"?
