Assistant Editor Naomi Knox has acquired World All Language rights in e-book, paperback and audio for the third instalment in Jackie Baldwin’s popular Highland Bookshop Murders series. Following Murder at the Wild Haggis Bookshop and Poison at the Wild Haggis Bookshop, the next mystery will publish in December 2026.
Returning to the quirky Wild Haggis Bookshop in the picturesque town of Oban, Scotland, readers will once again join bookshop owner Beth Cunningham and DI Logan Hunter. With Jackie’s talent for crafting ingenious plots filled with red herrings, unexpected twists and a warm community atmosphere, book three promises another unputdownable whodunit where the crimes are as intriguing as the setting is charming.
Jackie says:
“I’m thrilled to be working with Naomi again on the next instalment in the series. It’s wonderful working with someone so enthusiastic and positive. She has a forensic insight into the world and characters that I have created which helps to make them the best they can possibly be.”
Naomi says:
“I absolutely adore the Highland Bookshop Murders series. Jackie has such a gift for writing page-turning mysteries that keep you guessing until the very end, all wrapped up in the most delightful Scottish setting. The Wild Haggis Bookshop feels utterly real, and Beth and Logan have become firm reader favourites. What I love most is how Jackie balances clever plotting with genuine warmth and humour. I can’t wait to see what mystery awaits in book three, and I know readers are going to devour every twist and turn!”
