The Curse of Loch Ness by British author Peter Tremayne (ISFDB, SYKM, Wikipedia), perhaps best known as the author of the popular Sister Fidelma historical mystery series, is his standalone contemporary gothic-ish horror suspense thriller, starring a woman who unexpectedly inherits a Scottish castle from a distant relative, which comes with the obligatory ominous atmosphere and unhelpful locals and mysterious secret which she must uncover, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Endeavour Press' Venture imprint.

This was originally published in 1979 by Sphere. According to one of the customer reviews, this is high on stranger uncovering regional mystery/suspense elements and low on actual creature feature horror, so YMMV.

Currently free @ Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK and pretty much everywhere else Amazon sells worldwide, since this is being done via their KDP Select exclusive-or-else program)

Description
London-raised Jeannie Millbuie has received news that she has unexpected inherited a Scottish castle after the death of her previously unknown relative.

As the only heir of Donald Millbuie, Jeannie travels up to Scotland to take a look at Balmacaan Castle to determine its future.

The castle, which stood on the banks of Loch Ness, along with its odd housekeeper, Mrs. Murdo, and tales of the oddly reclusive previous owner, is a bit in bad shape, but Jeannie is determined to not make a rash decision about its future.

The weird wailing that echoed through the castle and the general eerie atmosphere led to Jeannie asking questions which Mrs. Murdo brushes off, but after exploration of her relatives old quarters reveals a journal, she learns of a horrible truth the Balmacaan Castle and lake is hiding.

Millbuie and the being hiding in Loch Ness have tied fates - and the terrifying and hideous truth will threaten safety and sanity in a race to the end.

The Curse of Loch Ness is a menacing story of the marriage of man, myth and magic in a nightmare world of compulsive horror and evil.
