A Wee Christmas Homicide
de Kaitlyn Dunnett (Auteur)
“The blend of romance and cozy mystery will please lovers of all things Scottish.” —Kirkus
‘Tis the season to be jolly, but in Moosetookalook, Maine, Christmas cheer is in short supply due to a snowless winter that’s keeping skiers and shoppers at a distance. Fortunately, Liss MacCrimmon of the Scottish Emporium has a plan . . .
Liss’s brainstorm focuses on Tiny Teddies, the hot new toy of the season. Every store across the country is out of stock—except a few wee establishments in good ol’ Moosetookalook.
The first sign of something amiss occurs when the last Tiny Teddy is summarily executed: shot through the heart in the display window of greedy toy store owner Gavin Thorne. But the Teddy’s demise is just a precursor to the eerily similar murder of Gavin himself.
Now, with the Twelve (or, in Scots terms, the Daft) Days of Christmas rapidly approaching, Liss has a plate full of things worse than haggis to contend with, starting with a stockroom packed with poultry (don’t ask), and ending with a killer who’d like to see Liss’s goose well and fully cooked . . .
“A picturesque location, a bit of romance, some suspense, and a cast of appealingly quirky characters.” —Booklist
“Lively . . . A healthy helping of foul play.” —Publishers Weekly
“Perfect for the holiday season.” —Romantic Times
