Description: Dr. Emilia McRoy, an American in Scotland, has a killer in sight in the fourth installment of the Scottish Isle mystery series, perfect for fans of Paige Shelton and Connie Berry.
Summer is coming to a close on beautiful Sea Isle in Scotland, and Dr. Emilia McRoy is celebrating one year since her big move. With a weeklong festival to end the season, the town gathers for a magical ride on the newly refurbished Storyteller’s Train but the launch’s success is dampened by an unexpected death.
What appears to be a case of deadly allergies is soon revealed as murder. As Emilia, her assistant Abigail, and the local constable Ewan McGregor unravel the mystery, the killer sets their murderous intentions on them.
If they want to survive, they will need the help of all of their friends, before they become the latest victims.
Genre: Mystery - Cozy
Why I Picked This Book: I've really enjoyed this series so of course I had to pick this one up.
My Impression: We are back in Sea Isle for a 4th adventure in this series that is somewhere between a cozy and a more standard mystery. I really enjoy the characters and seeing how their personal lives evolve. Abigail is just a delight and I am really rooting for her relationship with Henry. Emilia needs a bit of a shaking because of course Ewan is interested in her but it's fun watching them figure things out.
Emilia is a good main character. She's a very competent doctor and while she does take chances it doesn't feel like they're ridiculous chances. Since she is the coroner there are also reasons for her to be involved in the investigation.
This was a solid mystery with an unlikable victim and more than a few people who potentially wanted him dead. There were a couple of lines that I would have liked to see more followed up on but the mystery itself was solved in a satisfying and rather dramatic fashion.
I very much enjoyed this book and looked forward to picking it up each and every time. I'm looking forward to the next book and am hoping that we have some digging into Emilia's family in a future book.
Would I Read More of this Series/Author? Absolutely! I already have the first book in another series by her and am looking forward to the next book in this series.
Would I Recommend this Book? If you enjoy mysteries this is a great series. It can be read as a stand alone but it is probably better when read as part of the series.
