3rd book finished for #OMCEaster and 2nd for #AwesomeApril

A short book set in Kinloch (Home for the DCI Daley Series) in the 1960s. Kinloch is snowed in so a flotilla of ships head down the coast for provisions for the town, but are made to turn back due to the heavy snowfall. One doesn‘t and this book covers their adventures including a large bird and a Viking longship.

A very entertaining and humorous book with great characters.
