Resumen del Editor

After the recent death of her mother and the dissolution of her marriage, 30-something Eden Elliott is seriously in need of a fresh start. At the urging of her best friend, best-selling author Ami Pederson, Eden decides to embark on an open-ended trip to the picturesque village of Glenkillen in the Scottish Highlands, to do some hands-on research for a book of her own. But almost as soon as Eden arrives in the quaint town, she gets caught up in a very real drama....

The town's sheep shearer is found murdered - clipped with his own shears - and the locals suspect Vicki MacBride, an outsider whose father's recent death left her the surprise heir to his lucrative sheep farm. Eden refuses to believe the affable heiress is a murderer, but can she prove that someone is out to frame her new friend before she finds herself on the receiving end of more shear terror?

I wanted to smack the lead character

The plucky American was so contradictory in an effort to be full of personality. I have noticed this in other recent books. The author makes her say a pronouncement about herself which she promptly acts in such a way to make that pronouncement meaningless. I liked the setting, though.

Really enjoyed it!

The mystery kept me guessing until the end and I really got to like Eden Elliot, Vicky McBride and all the characters. Look forward to the rest of the series.

cozy fun

a fun read. i enjoyed the narration and the story was fittingly cozy. i will be listening to mire in this series.

Off Kilter

Loved this mystery in the Highlands of Scotland! “No such thing as coincidence” is proved over and over in this family dispute. Lots of suspects in the murder case but coming up with motive a bit more elusive. In the end, some fences are mended while others are found to be damaged beyond repair.

Great narrator juggling the various voices of all the characters!

Recommended for any mystery fan, lover of all things Scottish and those enjoying a clean family friendly read, enjoy!

Could use a better narrator

The story was good. The narrator lulled me to sleep at times. If she had been a little more lively with her storytelling, it would have been great.

Delightful

A wonderful light mystery story. A few twists and turns keep it interesting. A pleasure to listen to.

Not great

The American girl was no heroine. Seemed self absorbed and frankly, pretty lame. Story was dull.

I thought this was a great read/listen. No swear words or graphic murders. Just a good clean story that keeps you guessing all the way through.

Very fun! I enjoyed it completely.

This story was relaxing, engaging, entertaining, and at the right times, quite exciting. The narrator did an excellent job. The setting was fun, and I liked the characters I was meant to like! I’m hoping it’s one of a series—going to check that out now. 😉

Intriguing from the first page.

This story had it all - intrigue, mystery, suspense, budding romance, family drama, new friendships, old friendships all wrapped up in a great story. I'm glad to see it's not just a one off and that she is making it a series. I can't wait to read the rest.
