YAY!! 'There’s something very special about this crime series so I am so pleased this and future episodes as it were are now in the very capable hands of Orenda Books. We are back in the Scilly Isles and on St Helena and there is SO much atmosphere and scene setting, it’s amazing.' #DeadmansPool

WOW!! 'The way this drama plays out is very impressive. Lots of delicious scene setting detail. Wow, the weather and the natural landscape are characters in themselves. This is gloriously done. I was on that remote, raw island, open to the elements as well as a killer…' #DeadmansPool

Well, that's a wrap on Bloody Scotland 2025. We had a blast and loved having @ianrankin1.bsky.social on the team this year! Remember you can still catch-up on any events you might have missed online until 30th September, or even buy a digital pass and watch them all! bloodyscotland.com/whats-on/
