The only catch? They have to live it - inside a campervan with not enough space to escape Brian's banter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut trouble starts near Wick when they pull into a layby and find a police cordon. A fellow traveller has been found dead in his van. The police are quick to point to a faulty heater, but Joana notices what others have overlooked.

And what's behind the rumours about the Highland Games athlete and a cheating scandal?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs they search for answers, Joana and Brian are swept up in the NC 500's patchwork of local life: a ceilidh in full swing, Highland Games gossip, a cake stall with 'special biscuits', a dog show with the waggiest tail, and a campervan rally across the Highlands that attracts every eccentric within a hundred miles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen a second man is found dead, Joana and Brian must race to uncover the truth before the NC 500 claims another camper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLethal Laybys is a cosy mystery steeped in Highland scenery, filled with locals who are anything but ordinary, and laced with dry British wit that surfaces even in the darkest moments.
