A mystery is waiting to be solved in
Braemar
It was just hours before well-respected local minister and avid fisherman, Reverend Kirk Crathie, was scheduled to display his record-breaking catch: a massive 70lb salmon caught late in the season. But before he could do so, his body was found near his beloved church. The culprit? His beloved salmon, which had disappeared without a trace. The local police are treating the Reverend's demise as extremely fishy and have compiled a list of top suspects, including a number of local fishermen and women. Now, Chief Inspector Ann Chovie is seeking the public's assistance in solving the case. Can YOU help find the right angle to tackle this mystery and discover who is responsible and the item that will link them to the crime scene? It's time to cast off, detectives!
