True-crime writer Heather Kilbride arrives in the seacoast town of Inversgail, Scotland, to research a recent murder for her new book. But if that's true, why does she seem more interested in William Clark, a shadowy lawyer with no connection to the murder? Her nosy questions arouse the suspicions of Constable Hobbs, the members of a local writers' group, and Janet Marsh and her crew of amateur sleuths at Yon Bonnie Books. Heather's unconventional research methods prove deadly when Janet discovers her lifeless body—except the "body" turns out to be a dummy dressed-up to look like Heather. Meanwhile, Heather is sitting at a safe distance observing Janet's reactions. Then Heather is found dead—again—sprawled at the base of an ancient standing stone, and this time it's for real. Clutched in her hand is a valuable miniature book last seen at Yon Bonnie Books, and now the police want to know how Heather, the miniature book, and Janet are all connected. But Janet and her group of sleuths have two questions of their own: Who else is interested in knowing that connection—and is that person a cold-blooded killer?

      Narrator Lucy Paterson introduces Inversgail, Scotland, its charming bookshop-cafe, and its owners--two mother-daughter teams, Americans Janet and Tallie Marsh and Scots Christine and Summer Robertson. Listeners will revel in gorgeous scenery, books, and scones, meeting the townsfolk and joining a spirited search for an elusive murderer. Paterson deftly presents the constantly shifting accents, along with plausibly rendering the younger and older women. After Heather Kilbride, a visitor researching a local murder, is killed, Janet bicycles around the town's environs in search of clues for the team. Paterson's best creation is Christine; her on-target remarks are comical, her bossy attitude toward Constable Norman Hobbs is entertaining, and her care of her aging parents is endearing. Learning about antique miniature books is an added bonus. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
