In Fateful Words, the eighth Scottish Bookshop Mystery from beloved author Paige Shelton, bookseller Delaney Nichols stakes her reputation—and her life—when a literary tour turns deadly...
Synosis:
When Edwin, Delaney’s boss at the Cracked Spine bookstore, leaves town on secret business, Delaney is called upon to guide his yearly literary tour around Edinburgh. But on the first night of the tour, at the inn where the tour group is staying, the inn manager falls—or is pushed—off the roof of the inn, and killed. Then, one of the tour members disappears, leaving a trail of puzzles in her wake.
In a race against the clock, Delaney sets out on the expedition of her life, following clues around Edinburgh to get to the bottom of this mystery. Exploring sights from Greyfriars Bobby to the Royal Mile to the Sir Walter Scott Monument, she'll have to put the pieces together quickly, or the bookstore's survival could be on the line...as well as her own.
Review:
This is book 8 in the series, and I'm happy to say, just as charming as the first one! Delaney feels like she did when she first started at the Cracked Spine- a bit out of her league, when she has to take over the annual tour for Edwin. But with some help from friends and her hubs, she soon finds her pace, but a murder that seems to be connected to one of their clients, soon leads to solving a mystery, while handling the tour. Add in some suspence about if Edwin is ok, as he is being silent from London, and it's a bit of a page turner, that is equal bits charming and mysterious! Don't miss if you're a fan, but also a good book to start into the series!
