A Very Bookish Murder the third novel in the fun, cosy mystery series, with our elderly protagonist Ally McKinley. And once again, our Ally finds herself right in the middle of the action (erm, murders)
Retired and running a small B&B at Locharran, in the Scottish Highlands, Ally has welcomed a few members of a writers retreat to the village. But the event has only begun when a murder occurs, a detective is hospitalised and the rumours are escalating by the moment! With a new detective stepping in to run the investigation, Ally is asked to assist and it's not long before the residents and visitors of Locharran are facing another murder!
The Ally McKinley series is a highly enjoyable cosy mystery series with stories that contain lots of clues, red herrings and humour. I'm getting to know the residents of the village and their reactions to the latest murders add to the entertainment with Hamish (the local Laird) providing some hilarious commentary on why a particular character could well be a murderer.
