(I Read) The Bookseller of Inverness by S.G. MacLean
I found S.G. MacLean’s The Bookseller of Inverness in BookXcess several weeks ago. I could sense adventure, and the question of honour and loyalty whilst reading the back cover; these ideas were intriguing enough to make me spend!
I jumped into the story with little knowledge of the long history between the English and the Scots. It’s not required knowledge for reading this book. There was little bloodshed in the story; it started right at the end of the Battle of Culloden which is known as the nail in the coffin of the Jacobite cause. Well worth the read for folks who enjoy mystery or British history.
How do I sum up the story? The murder of a Jacobite in Iain MacGilivray’s bookshop brings to light a book containing the names of traitors to the Jacobite cause – this is how Iain reunites with his father, Hector, whom he thought was dead after the Battle of Culloden six years ago. They and fellow long-time Jacobites seek out to identify the traitors and their murderer. One last adventure together for father and son to salvage whatever they can.
