Janet Marsh, her daughter and two friends have all moved to
Inversgail, Scotland to run a bookstore/tearoom/bed and breakfast; upon arrival
in Inversgail, Janet learns she cannot move into the house she and her
ex-husband owned and have been renting out because someone has turned it into a
garbage dump. Janet blames local
newspaper columnist Una Graham (fondly known as Ug) but when she and her
friends try to catch Una in the act they instead find her body in Janet’s
shed. Now in addition to learning to run
Yon Bonnie Books, setting up the tearoom and readying the B&B, Janet has a
murder to look into; a stack of unpleasant blackmail letters found in the back
of the story opens up new possibilities for suspects, including Janet’s
ex-husband. To add to Janet’s already
too long to-do list, she has been tapped by the local librarian to be the judge
of the writing contest for Inversgail’s upcoming literature festival, along
with a reclusive author who is also Janet’s next door neighbor and who may just
be on the suspect list. This first book
in a new series introduces readers to a delightfully quirky cast of characters
in a charming setting that they will look forward to returning to time and time
again.
