Thistles and Thieves
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Description
Out for a bicycle ride in the hills beyond Inversgail, Janet Marsh discovers the body of Dr. Malcolm Murray. The elderly Murray and his own bicycle went off the road and down a steep slope―he's sprawled in the burn at the bottom, his damaged bike in a patch of thistles on the bank. Tire tracks at the side of the narrow road suggest a vehicle might have been involved. But 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 crew at the shop are at first delighted, and then mystified―what exactly does "look after" mean? Are they free to sell them? And what are the odd notes penciled in the margins? With a little digging, the women decide the books might belong to 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 Gerald's modest croft house, they find the door ajar and Gerald dead inside, stabbed with a regimental dagger. While the police try to determine if the Murray 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. The police are interested in those questions, too, and they're more than a little suspicious. Are the Yon Bonnie women as good with burglar tools as they are with books―and at finding bodies?

- content: The four ladies of Yon Bonnie Books, a bookshop in a small town in the north of Scotland, realize that there must be a connection between a series of deaths, and they set out to investigate. Narrator Lucy Paterson rises to the challenge of portraying the two Scottish and two American main characters with ease, seamlessly moving from one accent to another during dialogue scenes. She also brings alive the quirky and eccentric cast of supporting characters, who include several males she voices with ease. Her narration, combined with the well- written descriptions of the area, helps to transport listeners to the Scottish Highlands. Despite being set in the modern day, this cozy mystery harks back to a simpler time. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
