Publisher's summary

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.

Great Cozy Mystery

Clean cozy mystery with a good plot and narrator. I appreciate that there were no ghosts, goblins, vampires, or new age.

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.

Cozy fun

Was this great literature? Hardly. When I first started, I wasn’t sure about it but I kept going and I have to say I enjoyed it. I looked forward to listening to it which is really at times exactly what I want. It was a simple predictable story. I guessed who did it, but I don’t care about that. The reader was very good. It was fun, and I would listen to another from this author. Couldn’t give it five stars but it was an easy four. If you’re looking for something light, I can recommend it.

Heartwarming Story

Great cozy mystery. Wonderful narration. The tale unfolded nicely, easy to follow, and a great ending. A very clean story. Independent character development made them very likable. Kept me guessing to the end.

Lots of interesting characters in this mystery!

The characters are robust, the mystery well played out and Scotland nicely woven into the storyline.
