She read

Kansas born Delaney has married a Scotsman and is settled in Edinburgh, working in a charming bookshop. Delaney is thrilled; she and her husband have been invited to visit the home/studio of reclusive artist Ryory whose speciality is recreating historic Picts, stone carvings from the tattooed tribes who lived in Scotland more than 2,000 years ago.There, she has a chance meeting with Dr. Adam Pace who is from her home state and teaches at her alma mater. When Dr. Pace is murdered and nefarious activities on his part are revealed, Delaney, along with her cohorts from the bookshop, cannot resist investigating. 

An intriguing, cozy mystery with some delightful and quirky characters, this is a fast paced read. Although seeped in history, the role of 3D printers in the story made it quite contemporary. I liked this book and look forward to reading the next installment in the series. I particularly enjoyed learning more about the history of Scotland and a revisit to Edinburgh is always welcome.

Thanks to #NetGalley and @StMartinspress for the DRC.
