Scones and Scoundrels (Highland Bookshop Series, Book #2) by Molly MacRae
Inversgail, on the west coast of the Scottish Highlands, welcomes home native daughter and bestselling environmental writer Daphne Wood. Known as an icon of ecology, Daphne will spend three months as the author in residence for the Inversgail schools. Janet March and her business partners at Yon Bonnie Books are looking forward to hosting a gala book signing for her. Daphne, who hasn't set foot in Scotland in thirty years, is eccentric. She lives in the Canadian wilderness, in a cabin she built herself, with only her dog for a companion. Then, on the misty night she and the dog arrive, a young man -- an American who spent a night in the B&B above Yon Bonnie Books -- is found dead outside the local pub.
Daphne has done her Inversgail homework and knows that Janet and her partners solved a previous murder. She tries to persuade them to join her in uncovering the killer and the truth. To prove she's capable, she starts poking and prying. But investigating crimes can be murder, and Daphne ends up dead, poisoned by scones from the tea-room at Yon Bonnie Books. Now, to save the reputation of their business -- not to mention the reputation of their scones -- Janet and her partners must solve both murders.
