1950: Actress Dame Elspeth Hollanby (Holly) and her dresser Ivy are heading to Black Gairy, a remote mansion in the Galloway Forest, for a reunion with old theatre friends, and Holly is determined that young widow Ivy has some much needed fun. But vicious villain and press tycoon Sir Max Coyle is also invited. Everyone at the reunion has a reason to hate or fear Max. But what is Max's reason for being at the reunion? When storms hit the house the reunion is snowed in, the phone lines are down, and one of the guests is a murderer. In a house brimming with secrets it's up to Holly and Ivy to uncover the dramatic truth. Red as any Blood is the first in the Holly and Ivy Mystery series, where our lovable theatrical sleuths solve baffling murders in beautiful UK locations, mixing the excitement of 1950's show business with the shadows left behind by the war.
