Summary

Inversgail, on the west coast of the Scottish Highlands, welcomes home native daughter and bestselling environmental writer Daphne Wood. An icon of ecology, Daphne will spend three months as the author in residence for the Inversgail schools. Janet Marsh and her business partners at Yon Bonnie Books are looking forward to hosting a gala book signing for her. Daphne, who hasn't set foot in Scotland in thirty years, is eccentric. She lives in the Canadian wilderness, in a cabin she built herself, with only her dog for a companion; her people skills have a few rough-hewn edges. She and the dog cause problems for the school, the library, and the bookshop even before they get to Inversgail. Then, on the misty night they arrive, a young man - an American who'd spent a night in the B&B above Yon Bonnie Books - is found dead outside a pub.
