Death at a Scottish Wedding is book 2 in Lucy Connelly’s Scottish Isle Wedding cozy mystery series.
Emilia McRoy is an American doctor who has recently moved to Scotland, and in addition to her new job as the local doctor is also acting as coroner to her new home town. While attending festivities for a wedding at a local castle, the entire party is snowed in, and a dead body is found in suspicious circumstances. Emilia’s challenge is to find the culprit before they are able to leave the castle and make their getaway.
This was an interesting locked room/closed circle mystery, with a relatively large cast of characters consisting of wedding guests and members of the wedding party, many of whom were suspects.
I enjoyed seeing the relationships between the various characters and am interested to see if a romantic relationship develops in future books between Emilia and Ewan, as there seemed to be a few sparks between them.
I was not familiar with this series going in, and although it might help to get familiar with the characters in the story, I don’t believe it’s important to have read the first book. I had no problem jumping straight into book 2.
Death at a Scottish Wedding releases on January 9th 2024.
