Product Description

The fourth book in the highly acclaimed Alexander Seaton series. 1635: Europe is in the grip of the brutal territorial and religious struggle of the Thirty Years' War. Fear stalks the town of Aberdeen as a ship recruiting for the wars lies at anchor in the river mouth. A sinister figure watches from the shadows as apprehension grows and culminates in the disappearance of the son of a Highland chief - a student of Alexander Seaton.

When the frozen body of a young woman is found in the garden of a prominent citizen, Alexander becomes more deeply embroiled. The figure in the shadows has come for him; he can hide from his past no longer.

Shona MacLean has a PhD in history from Aberdeen University, specialising in 16th and 17th-century Scottish history. She lives in Banff, Scotland, with her husband and four children.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Devil's Recruit -S.G.MacLean 31 Mar 2013
By Simon Clarke TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the fourth historical thriller featuring Alexander Seaton,university teacher
and soon to be a pastor,and set in Aberdeen of the 1630's.
A well-connected student of Alexander goes missing immediately after having met in a
tavern, recruiters for soldiers for the Thirty Years War.His friend returns bloodied
and dazed and becomes a suspect.As Alexander investigates ,the plot thickens,leading
to further felonies.
The author uses her historical knowledge of the period to skilfully evoke the morality
and atmosphere of the time,as we learn about the horrors of the Thirty Years War,with
Scottish soldiers fighting for both sides. Additionally the character of Alexander
Seaton is complex as he struggles with his past misdemeanours,and with the rigid mores
of the kirk of which he is a leading member.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing 30 Mar 2013
By C.S.
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I very much enjoyed the first three Alexander Seaton books, but this one was a bit of a let down. There is very little mystery involved and not a lot of plot. Also it has made me rather dislike Alexander Seaton himself. His troubles are the result of his own pompous and self-righteous principles, and if he was a little less stiff-necked the problems he encounters during the last quarter of the book would not have even existed. Therefore, I can't really sympathise with him much, especially as he proved to be such a hypocrite! The first three quarters of the book were pretty boring, and I only persevered on the strength of the previous books, which all had an interesting and intriguing story line.

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as I expected 1 May 2013

Shona MacLean continues to impress with this latest instalment. The story keeps you guessing right to the end and there are plenty of surprises along the way. Well worth the read.
