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.

Favorite Quotes:

He was older and slightly balding. He glared at the photographer as if he didn’t know what a smile might be.

…things were definitely not adding up with the accountant.

Mara’s love language was food, and that was one of the many things I adored about her. Mine was eating said food.

I’m not sick, I’m just sad. My boyfriend is furious with me because his wife found out about us. I don’t think you have pills for that sort of thing.

My Review:

The Dr. Em Scooby gang was up and running, and solved several mysterious events as well as unraveling a murder. The storylines were well-paced, well-honed, easy to follow, amusingly detailed, and kept my curiosity primed. I have enjoyed getting to know these authentic, well-developed, and quirky characters and look forward to more of their adventures.
