"Death at a Scottish Wedding"

Lucy Connelly loves traveling the world, but her favorite place is at home with her dogs and family. That said, she's always up for adventure and is constantly on the lookout for killer inspiration--as in who will be the next killer in her books? She has a master's degree in humanities and enjoys learning all the things. And she's been published by many other names.

Connelly applied the Page 69 Test to her new novel, Death at a Scottish Wedding, and reported the following:

If you opened Death at a Scottish Wedding on page 69, you’d discover more about the victim’s background and how he might have ended up at the castle the week of the wedding. Or at least what people thought had happened to him. So, the Page 69 Test does work because you’d get a clue into what Dr. Em is trying to discover about how he arrived at the remote castle where only guests of the wedding had been invited.

As Dr. Em interviews the cousin of the victim, we discover new information about his state of mind and how he bounced back from a troubling past.

“There was no reason for him to be here,” Marianne said softly as if she were as confused as me. “…The old Robbie, the sweet one, was back. He told me he was happier than he’d been in a long time.”

This information makes the heroine wonder why the victim appeared at his ex's wedding celebration.
