Death at a Scottish Wedding

Scottish Isle Mysteries, Book 2

By: Lucy Connelly

Narrated by: Kimberly M. Wetherell

Finally feeling like Sea Isle, Scotland, is becoming her new home, American doctor Emilia McRoy is delighted when she is invited to a wedding at Morrigan's Castle. Her friends have warned her that it's a three-day party and bound to get wild, not to mention the impending snowstorm. Constable Ewan Campbell, owner of the castle, ensures their safety with the blizzard. What he didn’t ensure is that all of his guests would survive the night alive.

When Emilia explores the impressive castle, she finds a dead man in one of the turrets. The snowstorm hits and the local police can’t reach the castle until it lets up. With no one able to leave, the family insists they carry on with the wedding, which makes Emilia's job as the coroner a bit easier—the suspects are in one place­—and complicated because the killer has Emilia in his sights. The fact that no one claims to know the victim isn't helping. Why would someone no one knows be murdered at a castle in the middle of nowhere? It’s up to Emilia to uncover the mystery of who the victim is so the killer doesn’t get away Scot free.

Total intrigue

I was guessing right along with the characters. I absolutely love this series. It’s done so well! I highly recommend it. It’s like the modern version of Agatha Christie. Except with younger characters. ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊

Story was okay. But

Perhaps this should be a YA book? The protagonist/narrator is far too sappy, repeats herself too frequently, and dies the dumbest things that we all know will get her in trouble. While many characters and places are good parts. You decide.

Good series

This is a good installment of the series, and I didn’t figure out the mystery. What, though, is the purpose of blow after blow on the poor doctor’s head? She would be dead or disabled after the injuries from both books. Again, I will listen to the next book,

Great yarn

This mystery had enough twists that it kept you guessing as to who the villians were. I enjoyed the way the friends interact ed with one another, and how they tried to always be there for each other.

Great description of the Scottish culture and countryside.

I disliked the Dr. always going somewhere alone and getting into trouble. Too repetative, also, why can’t her and the laird get some romantic situations happening?
