This was a good story by Paige Shelton although I have liked some of her other series better. This one is set in a bookstore in Edinburgh with an interesting cast of characters, including the brother of the murdered woman, whom all the others are trying to help. There is lots of local color and local dialect, and the mystery part is good.
Enjoyable cozy. I especially enjoyed it as an audiobook with the narration using different accents and voices to reflect the different characters. The mystery is well constructed with plenty of doubt cast upon many of the suspects. Delaney is a bold and adventurous character with a slightly unusual ability. Her new found family at the Cracked Spine bookstore is quirky but loveable. I look forward to reading the series.
Loved the descriptions of Edinburgh - I felt like I was there. The book started off so strong and then seemed to drift off...... I'll give the second in series a chance.
