About the book
Bookseller and amateur sleuth Delaney Nichols returns in Paige Shelton's second Scottish Bookshop Mystery, Of Books and Bagpipes
Delaney Nichols has become so at ease with her new life in Edinburgh that she now considers it more of a home than her beloved Kansas. Working at the Cracked Spine, a bookshop specializing in rare manuscripts and historical objects, has been a dream come true for her. Her boss, Edwin MacAlister, has been giving her more responsibilities, including her latest task of retrieving a rare edition of an old Scottish comic at Castle Doune.
While admiring the Highlands from the castle’s ramparts, Delaney is shocked to see a dead body in a William Wallace costume, who was supposed to deliver the comic. She quickly alerts the authorities and hides the torn pages of the Oor Wullie comic under her jacket. As she tries to unravel the mystery of why someone wanted the man dead, she finds herself entangled in a complex plot that could lead to her being wrongly accused of murder.
