An American in Scotland

Scottish Isle Mysteries, Book 1

De: Lucy Connelly

Narrado por: Kimberly M. Wetherell

Sea Isle was supposed to be the fresh start Dr. Emilia McRoy dreamed of. Far from the busy emergency room across the Atlantic in Seattle, she hoped to settle down and begin this new chapter as a small-town doctor to the quirky residents who immediately welcomed her. When she stumbles across a dead body, she starts to think that she may not be as Scot free of the drama and intrigue as she initially thought.

Emilia soon learns she has bigger issues at hand. It starts with realizing she'll work closely with the less than helpful local constable, Laird Ewan Campbell. Her luck continues when she discovers that part of her new responsibilities includes being the coroner for the very body she found. Finally, when the body goes missing before she can even begin the autopsy, she must convince the townspeople that a crime did, in fact, occur. The deeper she digs into the picturesque town, the more suspicious she becomes. And then there are her sleep issues. It may be due to the ever-growing list of suspects, a number of threatening letters, or the surprise visitor who breaks into her house at night. But she’s never backed down before, and she doesn’t intend to start now.

Someone doesn’t want this doctor to treat the ailments of Sea Isle, but Emilia McRoy is determined to find the murderer before they kilt again.

Just what I needed.

I needed a bit of an escape from present reality as we all do at times. Thank you.

Another series to follow!!

This book took me a chapter to really get into but once I did I loved it. I was able to imagine living in this little Scottish seaside town. The characters were described well and very entertaining. I have already preordered the next book. I hope she continues writing this series for a long time.

Kept Me Guessing!

The story is fun, the romantic notion of leaving the big city in the US to work in a quaint Scottish village is attractive, and the mystery of the killer’s identity kept me guessing up to the end. The talented voice actor is wonderful and made me forget the various characters were actually one woman! Very enjoyable and well worth a listen.

Narrator was oerfect for the book.

I personally love Scotland so great to have a cozy mystery based from there. The narrator did an excellent job and the hint of a future romantic relationship also kept me engaged. It was a great listen.

Scottish Flavored Mystery

Excellent audio

This mystery was intriguing and the Scottish brogue in the audio version really made the story. An American doctor moves to Scotland to remove herself from past betrayal. She immediately discovers a body and helps solve a murder. There were plenty of indications to expect a sequel
