Age Range: Adult Fiction (18+). Overview:. Escape to the wind-lashed harbour of Kinloch with this three-book paperback set from Scottish storyteller Denzil Meyrick. 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.. About the Books:. Each novella stands alone but shares the same beloved cast and setting. In A Large Measure of Snow, 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. A Toast to the Old Stones 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, Ghosts in the Gloaming 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-
