About the book
Bookseller Delaney Nichols befriends a Loch Ness monster enthusiast; when he stands accused of murder she'll do whatever it takes to learn who the killer is—and whether Nessie herself is really lurking in the Scottish waters.
Delaney Nichols is thrilled with her life in Edinburgh, where she works at The Cracked Spine—a store that specializes in rare books and artifacts. She adores her job and is eagerly anticipating her upcoming marriage to the incredibly handsome Scottish pub owner, Tom Shannon. Delaney's life seems almost too perfect, like something out of a fairy tale, if only the pastor meant to officiate the ceremony hadn't recently passed away.
While looking for a new minister outside the church, Delaney meets Norval Fraser, an elderly man fixated on the Loch Ness monster. Intrigued by the unusual and curious by nature, Delaney strikes up a friendship with Norval. However, when his nephew is found dead, the authorities suspect Norval's fascination has turned from mythical creatures to murder.
Despite having to plan her wedding, with her family en route from Kansas and a flamboyant Texan arriving with a valuable book, Delaney's schedule is jam-packed. Yet she refuses to abandon her new companion. She resolves to uncover the truth and help Norval, even if it means uncovering secrets buried deep beneath the waters of Loch Ness—regardless of what Nessie may think.
Set against the backdrop of Edinburgh, Scotland, The Loch Ness Papers is the latest installment in Paige Shelton's Scottish Bookshop series.
