Death at a Scottish Christmas (A Scottish Isle Mystery)

Emilia McRoy is an American doctor working on Sea Isle in Scotland. She’s planning to take a break over the holiday season. With lots of community events to attend and help coordinate, who could blame her? Plus, it’s a great way to get to know more members of the tight-knit community. But things don’t go to plan.

Emilia is asked by a friend to help rescue some stranded band members who are expected to perform in a local pub. When the lead singer turns up dead after the concert, she finds herself back at work as the town’s coroner and as an amateur sleuth. She’s determined to use her medical skills to find out whether foul play was involved. But will she be able to find out what happened before someone else is killed?

Death at a Scottish Christmas is a fast-paced, entertaining cozy mystery. I enjoyed the characters and the setting. The plot had enough twists and turns to keep me turning the pages well into the night. I want to read more by this author, especially something set in the rugged Scottish Highlands.
