Gloria's Reviews > An American in Scotland

I enjoyed this mystery set in Sea Isle, a small village in Scotland not too far from Edenborough. Dr Emilia McRoy, an ER doctor from Seattle, answered a request for the small village to escape bad memories and get a fresh start in a place where her DNA showed possible relatives. Her life becomes quite busy and bizarre after discovering the body of an older man who made a scene in a pub yelling at her. She also happens to be the coroner. Then the body disappeared from her facilities where she lives in an old church, complete with medical facilities and brand-new equipment, thanks to Ewan, the laird, mayor, and constable. This has a great mystery with interesting and likable characters, including someone who is out to get her before she solves the crime. I loved the setting and am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
