4.0
3.5 stars rounded up for an entertaining mystery set in Edinburgh, Scotland. This is book 7 in the series, and I probably would have enjoyed it more if I had started with book 1. Previous books probably explained why an American, Delaney Nichols, ended up in Scotland, far away from Kansas. She is now married to a Scot, Tom, a pub owner. She works in a Bookshop.
She is invited to join a Robert Burns book group, even though she doesn't know anyone in the group.
Subsequently, the site of the meeting is burned out and 1 of the members is killed.
This series follows a familiar theme, i.e., an amateur sets out to solve a mystery, doing a better job than the police. I thought that the plot moved along well and the characters were believable. My wife thought that the book was boring and rated it 3 stars. Delaney does solve the murder, and she keeps the police informed of her efforts.
