The Highland’s Most Enthusiastic Detective

Police Officer Hector Porridge approaches every mystery with unwavering optimism, a well-worn notebook and an impressive collection of theories. Although his investigations don’t always go exactly to plan, his determination, honesty and good humour have made him a much-loved member of The Scunnered Lady Retreat. No puzzle is too small, no clue too insignificant and no suspicious teacup goes unnoticed—at least eventually.

While Grayson often has the answer before Hector has finished gathering the evidence, Hector never lets that dampen his enthusiasm. He firmly believes every mystery deserves a fair investigation and every guest deserves to feel safe, making him a reassuring and familiar face around the retreat.
