An American in Scotland

Scottish Isle Mysteries, Book 1

De: Lucy Connelly

Narrado por: Kimberly M. Wetherell

Sea Isle was supposed to be the fresh start Dr. Emilia McRoy dreamed of. Far from the busy emergency room across the Atlantic in Seattle, she hoped to settle down and begin this new chapter as a small-town doctor to the quirky residents who immediately welcomed her. When she stumbles across a dead body, she starts to think that she may not be as Scot free of the drama and intrigue as she initially thought.

Emilia soon learns she has bigger issues at hand. It starts with realizing she'll work closely with the less than helpful local constable, Laird Ewan Campbell. Her luck continues when she discovers that part of her new responsibilities includes being the coroner for the very body she found. Finally, when the body goes missing before she can even begin the autopsy, she must convince the townspeople that a crime did, in fact, occur. The deeper she digs into the picturesque town, the more suspicious she becomes. And then there are her sleep issues. It may be due to the ever-growing list of suspects, a number of threatening letters, or the surprise visitor who breaks into her house at night. But she’s never backed down before, and she doesn’t intend to start now.

Someone doesn’t want this doctor to treat the ailments of Sea Isle, but Emilia McRoy is determined to find the murderer before they kilt again.

Needs more research

The story in itself was good. However, there was a lack of research. Everything about the MRI is wrong. A person cannot carry two cords of wood. These and other inaccuracies make the story stumble.

Her stubbornness

Loved this and look forward to more stories. I love books about Scotland,especially mysteries with history of the region.

lovely story 

I love the readers voice. She did a wonderful job of the voices, and I will recommend this story to friends. 

cozy and sweet

I enjoyed this. I dont know why this one vibed with me when so many cozy mysteries don't.

I liked the setting and the characters, though, the plot was just ok.

Wonderful narrator as well.

Highly Entertaining

An American in Scotland is an entertaining cozy mystery with engaging characters and an entertaining plot. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next one.
