A Scottish Country Escape by Julie Shackman Review

A Scottish Country Escape written by Julie Shackman which was published in March 17, 2023. This story, set in Scotland, admittedly one of my favorite locations, was one that took a good while to get interesting and then centered on the lead male character’s writer’s block, supposedly caused by a stranger’s curse after he nearly runs her over with his sportscar. I just thought the plot was a bit far-fetched. Julie Shackman’s novels in this series usually feature a mystery that gets solved but this one I found hard to get excited about. The romance was really peripheral and muddled and Dexter, the male lead, never really recovered in my estimate from his horrible introduction as he barrels his way into town. I liked the village atmosphere and the idea of people pulling together to save a nature space so embedded in the good times of their lives. But this part of the plot seemed contrived to cause worry and upheaval and then, bam, a sudden positive turn to give drama. Also, I was disappointed that Dexter’s physical resemblance to a key person from the past was never explained when it could have added another interesting subplot. I will doubtless continue to look for the author’s new Scotland-set releases but I hope they will feature more romance and leave out superstition, omens and curses. Thanks to Harper Collins UK/One More Chapter and NetGalley for sharing a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest opinion.

Brief Summary of A Scottish Country Escape

A Scottish Country Escape revolves around a small Scottish town known for its now threatened nature preserve, a well known crime writer who thinks he has writer’s block because he’s been cursed, a grandmother who is being less than helpful and a granddaughter who is attempting to open a business. The story advanced slowly for this reader who often felt bogged down by the wordiness and false starts before the main theme was revealed. A little mystery, a little romance and a lot of words that often were frustrating. The ending was satisfying but the journey was tiring.
