Molly MacRae is one of those mystery authors that feels like an old friend. We ARE friends on Facebook, but I think I would like her a lot in real life. She's also a librarian, by the way.
This is the first in a new series set around a Highland Bookshop. Four women, a recently divorced mother (Janet Marsh), her daughter, and 2 friends, have purchased a business called Ye Bonnie Books in the village of Inversgail, Scotland. Janet and her family have owned a vacation home in Inversgail for years and this will soon become Janet's new home. When the body of a local advice columnist is discovered in the shed behind the house, Janet and her crew set up to solve the crime so Janet can move into her home, which has been ruled off-limits by the local police. Suspects abound, of course.
If you are like me and LOVE a mystery set in Scotland (the land of many of my ancestors), you will enjoy this series immensely. MacRae writes engagingly. reading her books makes you feel like you're spending time with people you've known all of your life.
