After the recent death of her mother and the dissolution of her marriage, thirty-something Eden Elliott is seriously in need of a fresh start. At the urging of her best friend, bestselling author Ami Pederson, Eden decides to embark on an open-ended trip to the picturesque village of Glenkillen in the Scottish Highlands, to do some hands-on research for a book of her own. But almost as soon as Eden arrives in the quaint town, she gets caught up in a very real drama…
The town’s sheep shearer is found murdered—clipped with his own shears—and the locals suspect Vicki MacBride, an outsider whose father’s recent death left her the surprise heir to his lucrative sheep farm. Eden refuses to believe the affable heiress is a murderer, but can she prove that someone is out to frame her new friend before she finds herself on the receiving end of more shear terror?
About the Author:
Hannah Reed is the pen name of author Deb Baker.As Deb (her real name) she has authored The Gertie Johnson Backwoods Adventures and The Dolls To Die For Series.In her youth, Deb dreamed of working as a private investigator or as an undercover cop. So when Deb began writing a new series, the Queen Bee mysteries, she did something she always wanted to do — she went undercover with an alias!
Hannah was one of her all-time favorite names. Reed was her great-grandmother’s maiden name. So she put the two together.
As it turns out, the author Hannah Reed is much younger than Deb Baker. She’s also more daring, more willing to step right into the midst of any sticky situation, and she’s not afraid to tell it like it is.
As Deb says, “Look out! When Hannah’s around, big trouble is sure to follow.”
Jennifer’s Review of Off Kilter
Review (4.5 Stars): I loved the rich character of the lush Scottish Highlands in Off Kilter and I wanted desperately to join Eden on her journey of self-discovery in Scotland. Eden Elliott sets off on a trip of a lifetime to the lovely town of Glenkillen to finally write her romance novel, making a fresh start after the death of her mother and the end of her marriage. She never expected to meet anyone but after a comedy of errors, Eden finds herself in the middle of a murder mystery. The primary suspect happens to be the one friend that Eden has in this little village and she is now on the hunt for a killer before her dreams of a new life go up in smoke.
Eden was sweet, caring and a little quirky at times but that is the reason why I liked her. I think we all have had a time in our lives where things feel like they are falling apart and we want a chance to make a new start especially if that opportunity just happens to be a trip to the beautiful Scottish Highlands. I loved meeting the residents of Glenkillen and learning the traditions of being in Scotland, which makes me want to plan a trip right now. I could also definitely hear the accent of the sexy Leith in my head and I was glad to see that Eden has a possible love interest in this series. Great start of a series and I will be adding this author on to my list of books that I have to pre-order before they come out.

Off Kilter’s cover makes me want to visit Scotland! 🙂
I would love to visit Ireland. It have seen pictures, and it look like a very pretty place.
I would absolutely love to visit Ireland. I can’t believe how lush and green it looks in pictures. I’d love to see it in person.
My wish to visit list is so long I can’t just pick one. The shortest I can get it is to go just about anywhere in Great Britain, Ireland, or Italy.
maybe Brazil
