In Fateful Words, the eighth Scottish Bookshop Mystery from beloved author Paige Shelton, bookseller Delaney Nichols stakes her reputation—and her life—when a literary tour turns deadly . . .

When Edwin, Delaney's boss at the Cracked Spine bookstore, leaves town on secret business, Delaney is called upon to guide his yearly literary tour around Edinburgh. But on the first night of the tour, at the inn where the tour group is staying, the inn manager falls—or is pushed—off the roof of the inn, and killed. Then, one of the tour members disappears, leaving a trail of puzzles in his wake.

In a race against the clock, Delaney sets out on the expedition of her life, following clues around Edinburgh to get to the bottom of this mystery. Exploring sights from Greyfriars Bobby to the Royal Mile to the Sir Walter Scott Monument, she'll have to put the pieces together quickly, or the bookstore's survival could be on the line . . . as well as her own.

Like the previous books in the series, this one is entertaining and keeps you guessing. And it can double as a tour guide! Lots of historical information about Edinburgh is thrown in for the walking tour in the story. Very interesting!

Keeping up the tradition!

This is a great series. Well written characters and a lot of Edinburgh history thrown in. I have visited Edinburgh 3 times and seen many of the locations engendered in the series. But the author's descriptions produce even stronger memories than my photos! This particular story is intriguing with mystery piled upon mystery. Although the author makes sure this book can stand alone, it's best to read them in order as the characters and relationships grow throughout the series. Overall, it's a fun read. And, as an audio book, I must say, the actor/reader is superb.

Especially fun if you've visited Edinburgh
