Best known for his bestselling DCI Daley crime series, Meyrick turns to shorter, warmer tales of the same fictional fishing town in the late 1960s. Skipper Sandy Hoynes and first mate Hamish anchor all three stories, blending comedy, community spirit and nostalgic charm — a lovely gift for readers who enjoy cosy, character-led Scottish fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach novella stands alone but shares the same beloved cast and setting. In \u003cem\u003eA Large Measure of Snow\u003c\/em\u003e, Kinloch is cut off by a ferocious December 1967 blizzard, forcing Sandy Hoynes and the crew of the Girl Maggie to risk a supply run to Girvan, with young Hamish's new fame as Young Fisherman of the Year drawing an opportunistic reporter along for the ride. \u003cem\u003eA Toast to the Old Stones\u003c\/em\u003e moves to January 1968, as Kinloch's fishermen gather for their New Year's ritual at the Auld Stones, while Hoynes hatches a scheme to outwit hotel owners charging outrageous prices for whisky. Finally, \u003cem\u003eGhosts in the Gloaming\u003c\/em\u003e brings the return of old rival Dreich MacCallum, whose reappearance reignites a decades-old grudge and threatens to land Hoynes in real trouble. Throughout, Meyrick's affection for his fictional fishing community shines, mixing laugh-out-loud set pieces with genuine warmth for small-town life. Fans of the DCI Daley novels will enjoy spotting the shared world, while newcomers get a perfect introduction. Short enough for one sitting yet full of incident and dry wit, this set rewards dipping in and out or reading back-to-back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree self-contained novellas set in the same beloved fictional fishing town.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm, witty storytelling from a bestselling Scottish crime writer, in a comic register.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick, satisfying reads — perfect for commutes, holidays or between longer novels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA thoughtful gift for fans of Scottish fiction and cosy, community-led stories.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDenzil Meyrick is a Scottish author best known for his bestselling DCI Jim Daley crime series, set in the fictional west-coast town of Kinloch. Drawing on his deep connection to the west of Scotland, Meyrick brings authenticity and warmth to his depictions of small fishing communities. The Tales from Kinloch novellas reveal a lighter, more comic side of his storytelling, expanding his fictional world into shorter, character-driven tales. His writing is widely praised for its humour, sense of place and affectionate portrayal of Scottish coastal life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love This Collection:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThree charming, self-contained stories, one unforgettable fishing town, and a skipper and crew you'll want to spend more time with — perfect for readers who love their fiction warm, witty and unmistakably Scottish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease Note: Cover artwork shown is for the UK edition; ISBNs are as listed above for each title in this set.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Denzil Meyrick","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56740102504830,"sku":"PLD15371","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0642\/4549\/8093\/files\/kinloch-tales-denzil-meyrick-3-book-collection-paperback-1.webp?v=1784426486","url":"https:\/\/www.letsbuybooks.com\/products\/kinloch-tales-denzil-meyrick-3-book-collection-fiction-paperback","provider":"Lets Buy Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
