Summary
Autumn has come and gone on Scotland’s Isle of Glenroth, and the islanders gather for the Tartan Ball, the annual end-of-tourist-season gala. Spirits are high. A recently published novel about island history has brought hordes of tourists to the small Hebridean resort community. On the guest list is American antiques dealer Kate Hamilton. Kate returns reluctantly to the island where her husband died, determined to repair her relationship with his sister, proprietor of the island’s luxe country-house hotel, famous for its connection with Bonnie Prince Charlie. Kate has hardly unpacked when the next morning a body is found, murdered in a reenactment of an infamous unsolved murder described in the novel?and the only clue to the killer’s identity lies in a curiously embellished antique casket. The Scottish police discount the historical connection, but when a much-loved local handyman is arrested, Kate teams up with a vacationing detective inspector from Suffolk, England, to unmask a killer determined to rewrite island history?and Kate’s future.

Maybe it’s because I really couldn’t stand the narrator that I didn’t like the story better. The narrator was unconvincing as an American and although her Celtic accents were fine, the main character’s voice was really annoying and I actually found the character annoying as well. Too many cliched phrases and side comments. Instead of anxiously awaiting any plot twists or solution to the mysteries, I was anxiously awaiting the end of the book!

Loved the murder mystery story & Kate’s personal story & the hint of romance. I enjoyed the Scottish accents, I suspect Ruth Urquart is Scottish as they were so good. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

A cozy mystery with an unusual premise. Easy to read.

Thoroughly enjoyed this.

I truly enjoyed the book, although I had to remind myself of that; the narrator was hard to get past in this book. The Scottish accents were amazing, the main character, not so much. I think if I continue on with the series, it would have to not be an audiobook, as I don’t think that I could listen to the narrator.

The narrator just didn’t feel like the right person for this story

Loved this story and will be listening to more from this author! The narrator has a unique cadence that leaves a bit to be desired but does all the accents well. Worth the listen regardless.

I loved the setting and the story line was good. The book seemed to drag on in a couple of spots and I lost interest but I came back to it a few days later and I enjoyed finishing it.
