What do The Cracked Spine and the Loch Ness monster have in common?
Delaney Nichols loves working at the Cracked Spine among stacks of hard-to-find volumes and literary artifacts. With her great job and engagement to devastatingly handsome pub-owner Tom Shannon, Delaney's expat life in Scotland is straight out of a fairy tale. But the plot thickens when Delaney befriends Norval Fraser, a charming old man who is oddly obsessed with the Loch Ness monster. When Norval's nephew is found dead and the police name him as a prime suspect, it becomes Delaney's job to learn what really happened. . . and find the truth about what's lurking beneath the surface.
"The perfect book to curl up with on a rainy day." --BookPage
Is "Nessie" involved in this murder somehow? Delaney has her work cut out for her in getting to the deep, dark bottom of this mystery. Now, with a wedding to plan, her Kansas family in town, and the arrival of a wildly valuable book from Texas, Delaney enters a desperate race to clear her new friend's name--even if that means digging up a dangerous secret as old as time itself. . .
"Delightful...one of the most enjoyable installments in the series." --Library Journal (starred review)
