An American in Scotland by Lucy Connelly is an entertaining story. I enjoyed getting to know Dr. Emilia McRoy. She is burnt out from working in a busy Seattle emergency room. Emilia decided to take a leap and accept the position as the town doctor in the charming Sea Isle, Scotland. The residents are happy to have her. Her position comes with some great perks. You can tell that Emilia failed to read her contract thoroughly (she should know to never sign a document without reading it). There are some quirky residents which add to the charm. I love Mara. You could tell right away that Mara and Dr. Em would be the best of friends. I enjoyed meeting Laird Ewan Campbell who wears many hats. He happens to be the local constable. Ewan may be gruff on the outside, but he has a heart of gold. You can tell that he cares about the town and its residents. I enjoyed the picturesque descriptions of the village (I want to live there). I love the converted church where Emilia works and lives. There are some areas of the home that are unbelievable (reminds of the TARDIS). It is certainly a unique place. Emilia�s new beginning starts off with her finding Smithy dead in a bothy. Emilia soon learns that she is not only the local doctor. She is also the coroner. Emilia knows that Smithy was murdered, but she needs to convince Ewan and the village. It is a good thing that Dr. Em is a strong, stubborn woman. In her new role as coroner, Emilia goes around asking questions and searching for clues. There is plenty of activity to keep the story quickly moving toward the conclusion. Dr. Em needs to watch her step or she could end up being the next victim. It is a fun mystery to solve. Emilia also hopes to learn more about her heritage. Her ancestors came from the area. I bet she will be in for some surprises. There is humor sprinkled throughout the story that had me chuckling. The author managed to combine caring, quirky characters, a quaint setting, and an intriguing whodunit into one engaging story. I am looking forward to the next A Scottish Isle Mystery. An American in Scotland is a distracting story with a converted church, slippery slopes, a slain Smithy, quirky residents, pub grub, and a curious coroner.
