The Poison Pen (Paige Shelton)

Paige Shelton has been writing the Scottish Bookshop Mysteries for a while now. This new book is the ninth in the series and a delightful entry.

This time the events take place not long after Queen Elizabeth’s death. Delaney is asked to take a look at an artifact. It is possible that this has a deep historical significance. However, a lot is going on when Delaney arrives, including an intruder.

The story goes deeper. Is Jolie, the person Delaney was meeting, an heir to the throne? Readers can imagine how this will unfold but the fun is in the story.

This is a good traditional mystery. I liked the location, characters and story line. Recommended to fans of cozies.

Many thanks to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for this title. All opinions are my own.

I love to read, recommend books and open the world of reading to others. I tutor to ensure that the next generation of readers will know the joys of a good book because their reading skills have improved. I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries and fiction. I believe that two of the world's greatest inventions were the public library and eyeglasses!
