Four people are working separately while seated near each other in the Boston Public Library when they hear a deafening scream. This scream is the catalyst for their newfound friendship. When a dead body is discovered shortly after, their friendship takes some interesting turns. There were two storylines that were delivered in 2 very different ways which made for an interesting story overall.

Interesting story but a bit laborious to get through. Lots of characters and storylines to follow. Enjoyed the cultural notes and insight. Enjoyed the author narration. Might have liked this more had I read it at a different time.

Love how Joe’s relationship with Sheridan has grown with her coming into adulthood. Also love her relationship with Nate. Nate was too funny in this book.

The Laird and I by Patience Griffin
I really enjoy the Kilts & Quilts series. A go to favorite for a good read with lots of laughs. This was a fun, quick little romance with a lot of sass.
