Set in the weeks before the annual Inversgail Literature Festival in Scotland, Plaid and Plagiarism begins on a morning shortly after the four women take possession of their bookshop in the Highlands. Unfortunately, the move to Inversgail hasn’t gone as smoothly as they’d planned.
First, Janet Marsh is told she’ll have to wait before moving into her new home. Then she finds out the house has been vandalized. Again. The chief suspect? Una Graham, an advice columnist for the local paper—who’s trying to make a name for herself as an investigative reporter. When Janet and her business partners go looking for clues at the house, they find a body—it’s Una, in the garden shed, with a sickle in her neck. Janet never did like that garden shed.
Who wanted Una dead? After discovering a cache of nasty letters, Janet and her friends are beginning to wonder who didn’t, including Janet’s ex-husband. Surrounded by a cast of characters with whom readers will fall in love, the new owners of Yon Bonnie Books set out to solve Una’s murder so they can get back to business.
When Janet disc0vers her husband is a cheating rat she gets a divorce and decides to have a change of career, so she decides to buy the bookshop in the town she and her family spent their holidays in, but she doesn't get it on her own. There is her daughter Tallie (short for Natalie), Tallie's friend Summer and Janet's friend Christine, who is glad to be moving back to Inversgail as she needs to take care of her elderly parents. The sale of the shop goes smoothly and the current owners are staying to ease the four new owners in (oh and they have also bought the empty shop next door to open a tea shop and plan to open up the rooms above the shops as b&b rooms), so far so good ... only Janet and Tallie can't move into the house they own, and then they find a corpse, and things go downhill from there! Now the four on them need to put their skills together (Janet was a Librarian, Christine a social worker, Summer a newspaper reporter and Tallie a lawyer) to find out what the flip is happening and why!
