The Sketching Detective and Murder in the Highlands is one of those books that will make you travel to places you’ve never been to before. By using Scotland as the setting of the story, it gave its readers the necessary push to tap on the desire to explore the world. As it is a beautifully written piece, with the plot and its twists being put in the appropriate timing of the story, admittedly, there are moments when the writing was a bit too verbose that the climax of the story was unnecessarily being held out for too long. The story fillers, such as those that dwelled on golf, could have been shortened so as to ensure that the readers’ attention would not be too halted or too divided until the end.
