Fiction. Mystery.

Liss MacCrimmon was a professional Scottish dancer until a knee injury ended her career. Now she's back in her hometown of Moosetookalook, Maine, helping her aunt run a local Scottish emporium. Nestled in the hills of Northwest New England, Moosetookalook is just as charming as she remembers. But Liss's nostalgic idyll is cut short when she stumbles on the body of her aunt's nosy neighbor, Amanda Norris, under a bolt of Flower of Scotland fabric. Suddenly, Liss is a prime murder suspect, and it'll take some fancy foot work to clear her name. As she uncovers the shadowy secrets hiding in her postcard perfect town, Liss knows she'll have to act fast�??before the killer comes back for an encore. *"Strong local color and a surprise ending will make this a hit with the cozy crowd."�??Publishers Weekly… (mais)*

A rather pointless murder mystery that has no compelling characters, interesting plot or even remotely interesting context. Set in rural Maine with a focus on small town life and Scottish traditions, the murder of an old school teacher causes some distress for our heroine who comes home (

This was a cute cozy read. I liked most of the characters and their interplay with each other. I also liked that Liss was a character on the outside of the small town, in a way. She was returning "home" to the small town where events were taking place so she wasn't completely accepted. Some details were missing from the story that I would have liked to read about, but I really enjoyed the story and writing so I'll continue to check out the series. (

A run of the mill cozy mystery, nothing stands out as unique. (

The first book in the Liss MacCrimmon cozy mystery series.

A strong first outing for this series and the lead character and I really enjoyed it. The mystery worked really well and was believable, the excuse to have our civilian hero investigating a crime worked well for me eve if it was, as usual, a bit contrived and anticipate enjoying and the characters were fun and engaging and the romance actually worked really, really well for me.

I am enjoying the town of Moosetookalook, the promise of the ongoing characters and I really found myself liking Lilss MacCrimmon herself.

I started this series with book seven and read this one second and it was interesting to see how much growth there was in the series from book one to book seven, and I enjoyed the characters I met in book seven so much I am really looking forward to meeting them in more detail as the books go forward.

Strong debut and an enjoyable protagonist. I was tickled that her name was "Amaryllis;" what the heck was her mother thinking? I was put in mind of Hyacinth, Rose, Daisy and Violet, but that's not really to the point. :) The mystery was well plotted, story moved well, enough clues for the reader without erring on the side of giving it away prematurely.
