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. ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊

Truly, enjoyable 

This is the second book in the series and it was just a goo, of not better as the first one. If you want a fun read enjoyment with a little mystery. Definitely check this out. 

Twists & turns

Great story and easy listening. Hard to put down, plots thicken. Love the accents used.

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,

Delightful Read

I was delighted to return to Sea Isle with Dr. Em and her friends. The characters are as likeable and compelling as they were in the first book, and the friendships established previously not only remain solid but have deepened. It is always a pleasure to engage with intelligent characters who enjoy each other's company through the joyous occasion of a wedding and have each other's backs during the precarious events of a murder investigation. Not to paint too "sugary" a picture, Ewan is still his cantankerous self, though his soft side may be showing a bit more. The mystery is well plotted with lots of twists and turns, and although I find the trope of being snowed in with no outside contact and a murderer on the loose a bit overdone, the setting at Morrigan's Castle is quite intriguing. It is a salute to Ms. Connelly's writing that I found myself feeling cold through most of the book, even when snuggled under my warmest blanket. Brrrr. The power of suggestion. I look forward to my next visit with Dr. Em, Ewan, and the others from Sea Isle.

It feels like you're part of the story!

The story is captivating and the reader is perfect. The text and performance pull you in to the action and you feel like you're there.

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?

The story was really very good!

I liked everything. The narrator was excellent at distinguishing voices. The plot was great! Enough funny parts it wasn’t bogged down in just the mystery. Loved it!

Fun Listen

Really like the characters and setting of the story. The friends that make up the core of the books are easy to like and relate to. The mystery is interesting until the very end although it is hard not to suspect some of the bad actors.
