Review: Written in Stone
The 10th installment in Paige Shelton’s Scottish Bookshop Mystery series delivers everything cozy mystery fans love—bookish intrigue, fascinating history, and a clever amateur sleuth.
Delaney Nichols, now happily settled in Edinburgh with her husband, is invited to a rare studio viewing of reclusive artist Ryory Bennigan, whose work is inspired by the ancient Picts. But when a visiting paleontologist, Dr. Adam Pace, is found dead after trying to sell a mysterious artifact, Delaney’s natural curiosity leads her into a tangled web of deception, fake artifacts, and a dangerous killer who may strike again.
The mix of historical lore, contemporary tech (3D printing and fraud schemes!), and a richly atmospheric Edinburgh setting make this mystery both engaging and immersive. The pacing is brisk, and the quirky bookshop crew adds humor and warmth. I also appreciated how Delaney’s investigative skills are recognized by the police, making for a refreshing change from the usual “stay out of it” trope.
With its blend of mystery, history, and bookish charm, Written in Stone is a delightful page-turner. Fans of the series will love this latest installment, and new readers can jump in without feeling lost. Highly recommended for cozy mystery lovers!
