so-soThis was a pretty good mystery, right up until the end. I just didn‘t buy the way it wrapped up, with the guilty seeming to have little motive and some things never really explained. The “Scottish-isms” felt forced and awkward rather than charming. But the characters were somewhat engaging and the setting was beautiful. Probably won‘t read another in the series tho.
The husband picked this out for me by his own self, so I shall love it no matter what it‘s like. But it looks cute and cozy and just the thing for a chilly winter holiday🙂

I‘m really excited for The Paper Caper and eager to get Woman of Light off my shelf — either by reading or DNF‘ing! #bookspin

I love books and Scotland, you would think I would love this book. But it was incredibly inane. Plus I know about First Footing, the way it's used here is silly. You're going to let someone disrupt your wedding because you like to keep the old traditions? And the caviler attitude of 'we'll just move the wedding'.
But hey, managed to get pretty much every Scottish stereotype in.
pickCute and festive mystery. My only real complaint is that the narrator is different from the last one of these I read, and while she does a fine job, it was a little jarring, the difference in the secondary characters particularly.

Fun, but also disappointing in that the Twelve Books conceit doesn‘t actually tie in very well with the rest of the mystery.
Drink a lot of scotch while you‘re reading it, I guess. Plenty of opportunities if you drink along with the MC!
I did enjoy the descriptions of how the MC repaired the books, so that‘s a plus.
pickAnother great read in the series! Brooklyn and Derek are #couplegoals. Actually, every couple in this series is #couplegoals! The mystery is fun and the journey to the ending is always a delight.
