One of those series that has you waiting with bated breath for the next book to come out. Never did Delaney think that searching for things lost could mean a killer, but if she's to keep her job, and protect her new friends, she'll need to learn the truth behind this Scottish tragedy. But before she can settle into her new life, a precious artifact goes missing, and Edwin's sister is brutally murdered. An extra bonus is Tom the bartender from across the street, with his cobalt eyes, and a gentle brogue-and it doesn't hurt that he looks awfully good in a kilt. The Cracked Spine is filled with everything a book lover could want, each item as eclectic as the people who work there the spirited and lovable Rosie, who always has tiny dog Hector in tow Hamlet, a nineteen-year-old thespian with a colored past and bright future and Edwin, who is just as enigmatic and mysterious as Delaney expected.

Her new boss, Edwin MacAlister, has given her the opportunity of a lifetime, albeit a cryptic one, and Delaney can't wait to take her spot behind the desk. Never an adventurer, no one was more surprised than Delaney Nichols when she packed her bags and moved halfway across the world to Edinburgh, Scotland to start a job at The Cracked Spine, a bookshop located in the heart of the city. A humble book and rare manuscript shop seeks a keenly intelligent investigator to assist us in our search for things thought lost, and in our quest to return lost items to their rightful owners. Can she, along with Tom and her coworkers, help close the book on this killer mystery.Wanted: A bold adventurer who wants to travel the world from a comfortable and safe spot behind a desk that has seen the likes of kings and queens, paupers and princes. Never did Delaney think that her dream job would turn into a living nightmare. But before she can settle into her new life, a precious artifact from the shop goes missing and Delaney is terrified to find out that Edwin's sister is brutally murdered.

Then there's Tom, the bartender from across the street, whose gentle brogue pulls at Delaney's heart strings and who can rock a kilt like none other. A legendary bookshop filled with special editions and rare manuscripts, it's a house of biblio delights - one as eclectic as those who work there: the spirited and ever-curious Rosie, along with her tiny dog, Hector a nineteen-year-old thespian named Hamlet (of course) and Edwin, the big boss, who Delaney likes but just can't get a read on. Delaney Nichols is on the literary adventure of a life time when she leaves the States for Edinburgh, Scotland, to take a job at The Cracked Spine.
