Started DEATH AT A SCOTTISH WEDDING by Lucy Connelly. 2nd in the Scottish Isle Mystery series.
Finally feeling like Sea Isle, Scotland is becoming her new home, American doctor Emilia McRoy is delighted when she is invited to a wedding at Morrigan's Castle. Her friends have warned her that it's a three-day party and it's bound to get wild, not to mention the impending snowstorm. Constable Ewan Campbell, owner of the castle, ensures their safety with the blizzard. What he didn’t ensure, is that all of his guests would survive the night alive. When Emilia explores the impressive castle, she finds a dead man in one of the turrets. The snowstorm hits and the local police can’t reach the castle until it lets up. With no one able to leave, the family insists they carry on with the wedding, which makes Emilia's job as the coroner a bit easier—the suspects are in one place––and complicated because the killer has Emilia in his sights. The fact no one claims to know the victim isn't helping. Why would someone no one knows be murdered at a castle in the middle of nowhere? It’s up to Emilia to uncover the mystery who the victim is, so the killer doesn’t get away Scot free.
Published 2023; 272 pages. I'm reading the hardback version so Mom can have the Kindle one.
I'm REALLY enjoying A CITY ON MARS by Kelly and Zach Weinersmith, nonfiction. They make a complex topic like settling on another planet -- and mostly the reasons why this isn't a good idea - understandable and actually enjoyable to read.
No sprints tonight. And I need to make a vat of Egg Roll soup. I'll read, update the book journal. Steve's got the gun range.
I have SO many YouTube BookTube vids to watch. I'm way far behind. What I should do is just pick one BookTuber and watch all her videos until I don't have anymore -- this going back to Fall people.
Have a good day
Much love,
