Pregnant Lexy Campbell races to hunt down a killer before she goes into labour.

A Burns Night to die for . . . literally.

Pregnant and a week overdue, Lexy Campbell’s hope for a quiet Burns Supper at the Cuento Celtic Society is dashed in minutes.

The haggis is ceremonial only. The actual dinner is disappointing. And then the haggis cutter’s missing dagger turns up in the back of a dead guest no one can identify ― because of course it does.

With a room full of potential suspects, and contractions potentially minutes away, Lexy together with the rest of Trinity for Trouble must untangle a mystery involving old grudges, family feuds, and some very convincing magical misdirection.

But as the trio race to uncover a killer, Lexy’s running out of patience, time, and possibly all dignity.

Last Ditch Mystery #9

Out, Damned Scot

Poor Lexi is about 3000 months pregnant and is completely ready to eject this baby.  The Last Ditch/Trinity crew, along with her partner, are on a hair trigger - ready to spring into action as soon as that baby begins to move. A night out at the local Burns Supper is supposed to take her mind off of things but it's the least Scottish thing she has ever attended and then as per her luck, a dead body is discovered!

Lexi may not be able to run after suspects at the moment but she can still noodle the clues into order and come up with a plan to solve the mystery before the baby makes an appearance.

I love this series so much. No one writes Scots characters like an actual Scot. The scathing, sarcastic humour, the digs at the "Scottish Americans" and their 1% Scottish DNA which makes them think they are the aficionados of all things Scottish, lol.

There were layers to the mystery and I did solve part of the plot but there were still plenty of interesting twists. There were plenty of new characters to both love and loathe.
