Fateful Words: A Scottish Bookshop Mystery

This is the 8th book in the Scottish Bookshop Mysteries, and like the others builds on the characters from the original book, but can be read as a stand alone if one wishes. The author does a great job of giving you enough details that you will not be lost, but at the same time not revealing important parts of the other books in case you wish to read those as well. Which, I do recommend as they are really good. The most appealing thing about these books is the descriptions of the places in Scotland. As our main character is giving the tour about town to the folks who have come to get a literary tour, you feel as if you, too, are a part of that tour. However, it is a tour that ends up having a murder as part of it, which our main character Delaney helps to solve. The minor characters in her books are always fascinating, and I enjoyed the inclusion of several of the ones I have come to love from the other books, but I also liked the new character Luka who is part of the tour group.
