In Scotland, 1826, Meggy McKessar comes to live and work at John Lovie’s Aberdeenshire farm. John’s widowed mother is warned Meggy will bring trouble, but she refuses to listen; all she wants is for the rumours about John’s sordid past to be forgotten forever. But when a sudden death casts suspicion on Widow Lovie’s favourite son, the life she has so desperately tried to preserve threatens to fall apart.
Closely based on a sensational true crime, Three Times Buried is a sinister tale of torn loyalties, secrets, superstition and murder.
