Publisher Description
“Fans of Scottish lore or bookstore mysteries like Lorna Barrett’s and Carolyn Hart’s will enjoy this one.”—Booklist
Thanks to the Western Maine Highland Games, Moosetookalook, Maine, has never seen so many bare legs walking its streets. But instead of wondering who’ll win the hammer throw, everyone’s asking who got kilt. Especially Liss MacCrimmon, purveyor of the town’s Scottish Emporium, since it’s also her wedding weekend. And nothing scotches up nuptial bliss like a dead body.
But who’d go medieval on a professor, no matter how nutty? As much as Liss tries to keep her fingers out of the sleuthing cake, she finds herself again dead center of a Moosetookalook murder mystery. If Liss doesn’t solve this one, and quick, she might never say “I do,” let alone “’til death do us part”…
“Filled with gems of Scottish history and culture, this intelligent entry will appeal to newcomers and established fans alike.”—Publishers Weekly
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The murder of a controversial history professor, Alfred Leon Palsgrave, complicates Liss MacCrimmon's wedding preparations in Dunnett's exciting sixth cozy set in Moosetookalook, Maine (after 2011's Scotched). Since the chief suspect in doing in Palsgrave with a reproduction broadsword is Liss's father, Liss has no choice but to investigate. With her marriage (scheduled the same weekend as the Western Maine Highland Games) and honeymoon in Scotland only months away, Liss is soon racing the clock to clear her father's name while trying to keep her overbearing mother from wresting control of her big day. As Liss gets closer to the real killer, she discovers that Palsgrave's theories about an obscure 15th-century Scottish explorer may have had something to do with the professor's demise. Filled with gems of Scottish history and culture, this intelligent entry will appeal to newcomers and established fans alike.
