Dru’s Short Musing:
This is such a fun book filled with mysterious happenings and humor.

Lexy wanted to do two things: solve the murder and deliver this baby. The fun part is waiting for both with this quirky and eclectic cast of characters that came along for the ride. A solid mystery that is well-executed, engaging banter that have you laughing out loud, and an all-around good read with a storyline that is brilliantly written. Did the two things Lexi wanted happened? You’ll find the answers in this tantalizing and teasingly tale of mischief, mayhem and misdirection. Overall, this is an excellent read by Ms. Mcpherson and I can’t wait to read the next book in this delightfully charming series for more fun and exciting times with Lexy, Taylor and their friends.

Book Synopsis:
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 chicken (!), and then the haggis cutter’s missing dirk 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 and 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.

A Burns Night celebration, a mysterious dead guest, and an extremely overdue Lexy Campbell who came for haggis but left with a murder to solve.
