Shawnis heir to the Leery Estate, which Brody's class will be visiting on a field trip. So Paislee volunteers to chaperone in the hopes of tracking down Shawn and killing two birds with one stone. Unfortunately, the only one killed is a man Paislee sees falling out of the hedges after being shot. It's not her missing landlord, but Lady Leery's nephew, Charles Thomson.

Review:
Thischarming cozy mystery quickly grabs your attention and takes you to The wilds of Scotland giving you a vacation that we all can't take part of right now. Paislee is much more confident in herself and in trying to take care of those around her, she is more willing to stand up for herself and her shop, and in that means taking chances then she will. It's a bit of a departure from the first book, but a good sophomore one, in that it allows the characters to grow and mature and leaves you waiting to see what will happen next! If you haven't read the series this is a good one to start with!
