Publisher's Summary
Delaney Nichols is delighted with her life in Edinburgh, working at The Cracked Spine - a shop that specializes in hard-to-find books and artifacts. With a job she loves, and her fast-approaching marriage to devastatingly handsome Scottish pub-owner Tom Shannon, Delaney's life could be straight out of a fairy tale - at least it would be, if the pastor meant to perform the wedding ceremony hadn't recently passed away. Outside the church where Delaney is searching for another reverend, she stumbles across Norval Fraser: an elderly man obsessed with the Loch Ness monster. Always attracted to the interesting and unusual, Delaney befriends Norval. But when his nephew is found dead, the police decide Norval's obsession has moved from monsters to murder.
With a wedding to plan, her family arriving soon from Kansas, and the arrival of an over-the-top Texan with a wildly valuable book, Delaney's plate is full to bursting, but she can't abandon her new friend. Determined to help Norval, she sets out to learn the truth. The Loch Ness buries its secrets deeply, but Delaney is determined to dig them up - whether Nessie likes it or not.

Reader Susan Boyce rises to the occassion
I feel I must write this review to credit Susan Boyce for the job she did in this book. In the last book, and reviewed below, I seriously criticized her performance. I don't know what happened, but in this book she did an excellent job. All the characters had appropriate accents and voices were different for males and females. It made all the difference in the world. As to the story - I have always been interested in the Loch Ness monster, so I was intrigued. Please listen to this one - it's great!

Still not sold
The idea of a Scottish bookshop is terrific, as it can bring new character into the plot.
Both readers have seemingly elderly voices. This makes the premise of a younger woman from Kansas USA so hard to believe.
Both books I have listened to also move slow
Verdict is still out on this series
