Fateful Words by Paige Shelton
mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Thank you Minotaur and NetGalley for the gifted copy of Fateful Words!  All opinions in this review are my own.

I have been on such a cozy mystery kick for the past few months that I was so excited when I received a copy of Fateful Words in the mail!  Nothing could be better than a cozy mystery set in Scotland!

Despite being the eighth book in the Scottish Bookshop Mystery, Fateful Words is a great introduction to the series.  When her boss mysteriously flees to London, Delaney is tasked with leading his literary tour around Edinburgh.  Because of this set up, readers are treated to their own tour of Edinburgh and it was a wonderful way to revisit the city without having to go there.  There are so many moving pieces to the mystery that I was still guessing who was going to be involved until the very end.

Fateful Words isn't out until April 4th, but this will give you ample time to read the other books in the series first!
