Summary
The Cracked Spine Burns Bright
One winter’s night, bookseller Delaney Nichols and her coworker Hamlet are invited to a Burns Night dinner, a traditional Scottish celebration of the poet Robert Burns. The dinner takes place at Burns House itself, a tiny cottage not far from the Cracked Spine bookshop.
There, they learn of a longstanding feud between Edwin, Delaney’s boss, and one of the other invitees, who suspected Edwin for burning down his own bookshop twenty years ago.
