Key Zest food critic Hayley Snow and her groom, Police Detective Nathan Bransford, chose Scotland for their long-delayed honeymoon, hoping to sightsee and enjoy some prize-winning scones. But their romantic duo swells to a crowd when they're joined by Nathan's family as well as octogenarian Miss Gloria.

Nathan's sister Vera takes the women on a whirlwind tour of some of Scotland's iconic mystic places as research for a looming book project. But the trip takes a deadly tartan turn when a dinner party guest falls ill and claims she was poisoned. And then the group watches in horror as a mysterious tourist tumbles to his death from the famous Falkirk Wheel, high above the Forth & Clyde canal.

Vera and her friends deny knowing the dead man, but after observing their reactions to the fall, Hayley is not convinced. With one person dead, a second possibly poisoned, and the tension among Vera's friends as thick as farmhouse cheese, Hayley fears her long-awaited honeymoon might end with another murder.

Far away from home and surrounded by unfamiliar faces, eccentric characters, and a forbiddingly gorgeous setting, Hayley must call on all her savvy to keep a killer from striking again and then escaping Scot free.

Another great book to the series. Ive enjoyed listening too. The narrator brings the book to life. I’m looking forward to the next book. I will be sad when this series ends.

Exciting storyline

I was very disappointed with this book. I absolutely love the Key West critic series but this was a horribly obvious and contrived tale birthed after a trip abroad. The only consistent elements were the characters who were lazily transplanted in another country but horribly American in their self-important and superior attitudes as evidenced by the “I’m a policeman in America, so I’m obviously important and will lead the investigation and immediately to reproach” insertion. He’s a cop from a tiny town on a tiny island in a country that now has a horrible reputation abroad. And let’s be honest, in the real world the police from abroad really would give a scones fuck if your a policeman from Key West and have likely never heard of the place. It’s just a dry and stupidly contrived lame excuse for a book in a wonderful series. Don’t wast your time. The author should have focused on providing audio to the rest of the books in the series not voiced for Audible.

A dry mealy scone of a story based on a stupid vacation abroad. Not a Key West story.

I love the Key West series. But her books are ridiculously expensive already. If Lucy wants to take a trip to Scotland she should pay for it herself. Not come up with this ridiculous excuse of a “ story” to get her editors and customers to pay for her trip. Incredibly disappointed in the story and the author. Will rethink about wasting credits on her in the future.

Horrible
