Book Description
A delightful new mystery featuring bookseller and amateur sleuth Delaney Nichols, set in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Delaney Nichols, originally of Kansas but settling happily into her new life as a bookseller in Edinburgh, works at The Cracked Spine in the heart of town. She’s recently befriended a few medical school students after they came into the shop to sell some antique medical tomes. But when one of the students’ friends is found murdered outside in the alley, Delaney takes it upon herself to help bring the murderer to justice.
During her investigation, Delaney finds some old scalpels in the bookshop’s warehouse—she finds out that they belonged to a long-dead doctor, whose story might be connected to the present-day murder. It’s all Delaney can do to race to solve this crime before time runs out and she ends up in danger herself.

My Review
Lost Books and Old Bones: A Scottish Bookshop Mystery by Paige Shelton is the third book in the series. You don't need to have read the earlier books to enjoy this one.
Delaney Nichols is settled into life in Scotland and her life at the book store. She befriends some university students who bring ancient medical books into the store to sell. When one of those students is found dead behind the store, Delaney is on the hunt for her killer. And why are the old scalpels so intriguing to everyone?
Lost Books and Old Bones is well written and moves along at a good clip. I enjoy well written cozy mysteries like this one.
Highly recommend Lost Books and Old Bones.
