Thistles and Thieves (Highland Bookshop Series, Book #3) by Molly MacRae
Out for a bicycle ride in the hills beyond Inversgail, Janet Marsh discovers the body of Dr. Malcolm Murray. Who would want the well-loved, retired doctor dead?
A few days after the death, a box of vintage first editions is left on the doorstep of Yon Bonnie Books with a note:" Please look after these books. Thank you." Janet and her friends at the shop are at first delighted, and then mystified -- what exactly does "look after" mean? With a little digging, the women decide the books might belong to the deceased Malcolm Murray -- or his reclusive brother, Gerald.
When Janet and Christine call at Malcolm's house, they find his confused, angry sister and evidence of a burglary. When they go to see Gerald, they find his door ajar and Gerald dead inside, stabbed with a regimental dagger. While the police try to determine if the Murry brothers' deaths are connected and who's responsible, Janet and the bookshop owners try to find out how and why the box of books ended up on their doorstep.
