Delaney Nichols, originally of Kansas but settling happily into her new life as a bookseller in Edinburgh, works at the Cracked Spine in the heart of town... When her new friends, also students at the medical school, come to the shop to sell a collection of antique medical books, Delaney knows she's stumbled across a rare and important find indeed. Her boss, Edwin MacAlister, agrees to buy the multivolume set, perhaps even to keep for his own collection. But not long after the sale, one of Delaney's new friends is found murdered in the alley behind the Cracked Spine.

I'm currently on vacation and reading my way through the series. ;)
That said, I think this is my favorite of the novels so far. The incorporation of Edinburgh history really deepens the story, in my opinion, and while it does get slightly morbid at times, there are some lovely moments of trust and communication, too. It's great to see how the characters have developed!
