Former police officer Alfred Birse enters the witness box and yet more explosive details emerge and claims are made from two witnesses that Brian and Sheila had joked about getting Max out of the way.

Alan Peters claims Sheila assisted in the murder of her husband and police go to great lengths using a pig to establish how Max was murdered.

Sheila attempts to leave her husband but is urged to return to the marital home by those she sought help from and the court hears two very different versions of what happened on the night of Max’s murder. 

The trial hears Max Garvie’s appetite for the extreme increased beyond fast cars and planes. He became the puppet-master who pushed his wife into the arms, and bedroom, of a younger man. He then finds a lover for himself, a woman who is a little too close to home. 

The trial of the century gets underway with three people accused of murdering 35-year-old prominent farmer Maxwell Garvie. The cream of Scottish legal talent and top journalists are drafted in for the case while hundreds of people queue outside for a seat in court. 

A second person is arrested for the murder of prominent farmer Maxwell Garvie and cracks during an overnight interrogation leading police to the body. The forensic team then face a major challenge retrieving the body from a hiding place that would never have been found.

A prominent Scottish farmer has disappeared and after initial thoughts he'd gone off with a fellow amateur pilot, suspicions grow that something sinister has happened to him. Three months later his glamorous wife is arrested in front of their three children. But who tipped off the police and prompted the most sensational murder investigation in Scottish history?

The official trailer for series two of the The Storyteller: Violent Delights. Following on from the True Crime Number 1 hit The Storyteller: Murder Most Foul, investigative journalist Isla Traquair returns to Scotland to uncover the dark truths of one of the most sensational cases in recorded criminal history. Set against a backdrop of the North east coast and prudish farming community, a prominent and wealthy "flying farmer" goes missing. His beautiful wife and two others end up in the dock months later accused of murder. But who killed Maxwell Garvie and why? 

 

In the final episode of this series, loose ends are tied in a poetic way as the living victims of Pamela Gourlay come together and find comfort by sharing their very different experiences. The Storyteller Isla Traquair thinks she’s done, but is she? Maybe one last trip north but will she find the truth?  

In an unexpected twist a key character in this awful story, who was believed to be dead, is in fact alive and ready to talk about the case for the first time in 20 years.
