About this listen

Delaney Nichols is delighted with her life in Edinburgh, working at The Cracked Spine - a shop that specializes in hard-to-find books and artifacts. With a job she loves, and her fast-approaching marriage to devastatingly handsome Scottish pub-owner Tom Shannon, Delaney's life could be straight out of a fairy tale - at least it would be, if the pastor meant to perform the wedding ceremony hadn't recently passed away. Outside the church where Delaney is searching for another reverend, she stumbles across Norval Fraser: an elderly man obsessed with the Loch Ness monster. Always attracted to the interesting and unusual, Delaney befriends Norval. But when his nephew is found dead, the police decide Norval's obsession has moved from monsters to murder.

With a wedding to plan, her family arriving soon from Kansas, and the arrival of an over-the-top Texan with a wildly valuable book, Delaney's plate is full to bursting, but she can't abandon her new friend. Determined to help Norval, she sets out to learn the truth. The Loch Ness buries its secrets deeply, but Delaney is determined to dig them up - whether Nessie likes it or not.

I dove into "The Loch Ness Papers" with high hopes, expecting a thrilling mystery set against the backdrop of Scotland's iconic Loch Ness. Alas, what awaited me was a plot twist that left me feeling like I'd been dunked in the lake itself.

As the story unfolded, my anticipation for a satisfying debunking of the legendary creature turned into a sinking feeling of disappointment. I must admit, by the end, I felt more nauseous than Nessie must have after her underwater acrobatics. I held on, hoping for a final twist that would redeem the narrative, but alas, it never came.

In summary, "The Loch Ness Papers" left me with a waterlogged sense of regret. If you're seeking a mystery that stays afloat with logic and clever storytelling, you might want to set sail for other literary shores. This dragon-sized dive into the absurdity of Loch Ness left me longing for a plot that held water – and my attention.
