I'm not really sure why I always put off books that are part of a series. I've had The Loch Ness Papers by Paige Shelton on my TBR Pile for quite awhile now. I really enjoy the series so there was no reason to NOT read it. Now they've released the next book in the series and I'm behind again.
In this book we get to meet Delaney's family. Shelton also touches on famous Scottish lore: the Loch Ness monster. I don't know that I believe specifically in Nessie but I do 100% believe there are things out there that we know nothing about. Greenland sharks have an estimated life span between 272 and 512 years. That's bananas in terms of human/societal evolution. So yes, I do believe that there could be things that we know not about.
I liked this book but it was a bit off for me in the mystery department. It was pretty obvious right off the bat who was involved. I felt like the storyline was rushed between the mystery, the side story of the wedding, introducing a few new characters, and all about Norval's past. I really would have liked to have had more information about Norval in his younger years.
Despite feeling like the story was rushed, I did enjoy it. I liked having the chance to spend more time in Edinburgh. I'll continue the series and hopefully this time I won't wait a whole year to read the next in the series!
