Merriment, mistletoe, and murder await in the third installment of the Scottish Isle mystery series, perfect for fans of Sheila Connolly and Joanne Fluke.
Sea Isle, Scotland, is magical during the holiday season, and Dr. Emilia McRoy can’t wait to enjoy everything her village has to offer. But when the lead singer of a famous band is murdered in the village, just as they were about to launch a world tour, her holiday instantly comes to a halt.
As the band’s future hangs in the balance, Emilia discovers that the victim was working on new music that has since disappeared. Were these new lyrics worth killing for? And if so, who is the culprit? It seems more than one person wanted this music star dead. Shockingly, beloved constable Ewan Campbell becomes the prime suspect in the investigation, putting a damper on the town’s festivities.
With an ever-growing list of suspects, Emilia will need all the help she can get to figure out who is framing poor Ewan. Between a secret Santa that wants her dead, stalkers, and killer holiday celebrations, Emilia must see the devil in the details and discover the truth before it’s too late.
Review:
I'm enjoying this series! In this book, Emilia is ready to launch into all the holiday festivities of her new home, something she has never really gotten into (being an ER doc in the states kept her too busy) and just when she's starting to enjoy the season, death strikes. As Emilia is also the coroner, she has a duty to help investigate, no matter what the police think. And as she says, people are more prone to talk to her than the police, as she's a doctor to them. But as she talks to the remaining band members and their agent, something is very clearly wrong both within the group and out. As her investigation spirals, she and her friends come into danger from the killer who wants no loose ends. A fast read, this is an enjoyable entry to the series!
