The Kellys of Kelvingrove

Nestled down, hidden behind the Glasgow Art Galleries, is a line of seven rented houses. Though quiet and out of sight alongside the River Kelvin, they accommodate seven very different families, along with their problems, schemes and secrets. Mae Kelly, wife of a proud police officer, finds herself in fear of her husband when she falls into debt. After discovering a hidden hoard of money under a loose floorboard, Mae thanks her lucky stars, until she realises the money now spent is the same sum recently stolen from the nearby galleries. Just down the road lives Charlotte Arlington, an arrogant woman who, desperate for persecution, pairs up with neighbour Reverend Denly to try and evict those she deems 'unsuitable'. Little does she know, her very own daughter is breaking down the barriers she has worked so hard to put up. Also part of this very mismatched neighbourhood is Gemma Ford, an ex-con who takes on multiple personas to deceive others, and Doris McIvor, a daughter fighting for her sanity as she cares for her ill mother. Despite their efforts to retreat within separate lives, when Doris' mother is found dead on the Kelly's doorstep, each household will soon find themselves mixed up in the problems of the others, as malicious schemes and secrets are exposed in Margaret Thomson Davis' new thriller, "Kelly's of Kelvingrove".
