The Burning Pages A Scottish Bookshop Mystery by Paige Shelton


Delaney is trying to determine who is burning down bookstores and the Burns memorial building.  The police are questioning one of her bookstore's employees and she knows he didn't do it.

Minotaur Books and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published on April 5th.

Hamlet hides for a bit after the police inquiry but he eventually comes back.  He tells Delaney he didn't start the fire and he didn't kill the man inside the building.  She believes him.

His heritage is strange, and Delaney tries to find his mother.  The more she looks, the more it looks like a dead end.

Then more buildings are set on fire.  They are saved but they need to find the firebug.

There are unpleasant surprises, and the firebug is finally located.  I was surprised by who was doing it.  Will you be?
