I really wanted to love this book. From the synopsis it had all the elements that I typically love: small Scottish community setting, a strong female main character, and a locked door murder mystery. Unfortunately, this story just did not come together for me. The pacing was too slow and some of the story felt repetitive. This would have been a DNF for me if it was the book. However, the bright spot was the narration! I loved the narrator and would listen to anything that she narrates. Her Scottish accent was perfect for the setting and she did a great job of giving the individual characters their own voice without being cheesy.
