Is Moosetookalook suffering from a streak of bad luck, or are the two grim incidents connected? Despite her worried husband’s protests, she’ll need to act swiftly. But when the sound of a gunshot leads Liss to a selectman’s dead body on opening day, she’s drawn into a full-blown investigation. Or even stranger-like they never existed at all.ĭisturbed by the disappearance and suspecting arson, Liss counts on the Western Maine Highland Games-complete with parade and fireworks display-to offer a temporary distraction from the questions filling her head. It’s as if the three just vanished into smoke. After the terrible blaze dies down, however, the family is nowhere to be found among the ruins. When a fire ravages the local bookstore late one evening, Liss immediately fears the worst for owner Angie Hogencamp and the two young children who live above the shop. But as a sinister crime wave washes over the quiet town, this year’s celebration might prove a wee bit more eventful-and deadly-than tartan and bagpipes . . . It’s July in Moosetookalook, Maine, and Scottish Emporium proprietress Liss MacCrimmon Ruskin is prepping her wares for the annual Celtic heritage festival. At a summer event in small-town Maine, a shady politician meets his end in this “enchanting” cozy mystery ( Publishers Weekly).
