Archives for March 2007

Read about Michael Nardone - aka DI Whiteside, new cop on the Shieldinch beat - and why he's happy to be back in Scotland, with the hairs on his bum intact! In the Daily Record.

Due to exceptional demand the River City Tours for 2007 are now fully booked.

Thank you to everyone who has booked to come down to Shieldinch this year, making 2007 our most popular tour year ever.

Sorry if you have been unable to get a place on a tour this year. Bookings for the 2008 Tour Schedule will be taken from the beginning of next year. Details will be announced right here.

Eddie's dead! It was a shocking scene and you can't help but wonder how Scott, Tina and the boys are going to cope. And will Scott find out that Eddie was going to propose?!

But the first question everyone wants an answer to is whodunnit? Eddie's never been short of enemies...

DI Whiteside will be leading the investigation but you'll soon see that he's not the most genial of characters and he wasn't an Eddie fan. Could Paul have been pushed over the edge since being sent off to school? Or was it his mum, Tina, fed up with having to cope with her husband's betrayal?

Eddie recognised the salsa teacher, Jake, so perhaps he has a dubious past, and Sammy's sister wouldn't pretend to lose any sleep over Eddie's death. But Lenny's body was never found so could he be back from the dead?

Don your Miss Marple wig and start sleuthing over on the messageboard!
