A Wee Christmas Homicide

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 new «hot» 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 "The blend of romance and cozy mystery will please lovers of all things Scottish."– Kirkus Reviews "Perfect for the holiday season."– Romantic Times
