Review by Kirkus Book Review

A scone-by-scone tour of glorious Scotland. Key West food writer Hayley Snow and police detective Nathan Bransford have recently married. Their honeymoon is a bit of an odd one, since Hayley's neighbor, fellow Outlander fanatic Miss Gloria, and Nathan's mother, Helen, are both accompanying them while they stay with Nathan's sister, Vera, and her husband, William, in St. Andrews, Scotland. Vera, who's working on a book project, plans to highlight thin places, mystical spots where heaven and Earth are close. William has made plans for Nathan that all involve golf, leaving the women on their own for parts of the trip that must dovetail with Vera's schedule in order for her to finish up loose ends. A dinner party at the home of Vera's longtime friend Ainsley, who's organizing the project, introduces Glenda and her husband, Gavin, who are pushing the book in a totally new direction that includes virtual reality content. Hayley makes friends with Ainsley's chef, who's devastated when Glenda becomes ill and the police suspect poisoning. Further tragedy swiftly follows when someone is killed on a visit to the famous Falkirk Wheel. The trip continues, but the palpable tension encourages Hayley to investigate, putting her and Miss Gloria in danger. Foodies and Outlander fans will rejoice in the references to both in this not-so-mysterious paean to Scotland. Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
