As flies the shadow, so does life.
In Scotland, 1826, Meggy McKessar comes to live and work at John Lovie's Aberdeenshire farm. John's widowed mother is warned Meggy will bring trouble, but she refuses to listen; all she wants is to for the rumours about John's sordid past to be forgotten forever. But when a sudden death casts suspicion on the widow's favourite son, the life she has so desperately tried to preserve threatens to fall apart.
Based on a sensational true crime, Three Times Buried is a sinister tale of torn loyalties, secrets, superstition and murder.
