About this ebook
“Lovely descriptions of a Maine spring, a fast-moving plot with unexpected twists, and well-drawn characters help make this cozy a winner.”—Publishers Weekly
Liss MacCrimmon, purveyor of all things plaid at the Moosetookalook Scottish Emporium in Maine, can’t wait to cozy up to the town’s first annual mystery book conference. The outlook seems very bonnie indeed for all the local businesses, including her fiancé’s family-owned hotel. But when a reviewer with a grudge takes a swan dive off a scenic lookout, the crime scene is a bit too real.
With a conference full of potential suspects—from a famous actress-turned-bestselling author to her power-broker agent to an overextended events coordinator with plenty to hide—it will take a killer instinct to figure out which writer belongs in the true crime section…before it’s The End for another innocent victim.
“A delightful new series.”—Dorothy Cannell, award-winning author of The Thin Woman
“A pleasant diversion with a wide choice of murder suspects.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Well-plotted…pure entertainment.”—RT Book Reviews

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A conference for cozy mystery lovers is coming to the hotel in Moosetookalook. When the writer of a very critical blog turns up dead over Lover's Leap, it appears at first to investigators that it was just a terrible accident. Liss knows there are plenty who would have loved to see the blogger dead, but she can't quite prove that it wasn't an accident. All of our cast of characters is back, even Gordon Tandy of the State Police who had vied for Liss' attentions along with Dan (who won) a couple of installments ago. It's a great way to sit back and escape to a fun destination for a few moments, even if Moosetookalook is on its way to taking over Cabot Cove's spot as the "Murder Capital of Maine."
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Scotched (Liss MacCrimmon Mysteries #5) by Kaitlyn DunnettSet in a small town Moosetookalook, Maine Liss MacCrimmon is excited the town is hosting the annual Maine-ly Cozy Con. A group of Authors gathering together to discuss their work and sell books. This will benefit her (Liss) business as well, until someone ends up dead. Liss is determined to crack the case and solve the crime, before anyone else is in danger.A fast paced cozy murder mystery with interesting characters and engaging plot. Liss and her fiance Dan are very likable, not only is she trying to solve a crime she is also planning her wedding. The suspect list grows, as secrets are revealed. A classic who-done-it feel, I found Scotched a fun read and recommend to those who enjoy a good murder/mystery.
