Scotched (A Liss MacCrimmon Mystery Book 5) Kindle Edition

“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

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this series!

This book and the four preceding are can't put down books. The characters are full and interesting. Liss is precocious, if you can say that about an adult. I look forward to reading the next books in the series. I want to see what trouble Liss can get herself into and her thought processes to solve the situation.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fine mystery with a Scottish essence.
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2019

A slight glimpse of a particular genre of writing and of the adoring fans that follow their author idols. As usual, the heroine is wrong until the last chapter. Can a reader discern the real culprit from the few clues in the story? The idea of a groom who doesn’t want to wear a kilt at his own wedding adds a Scottish element to the story. Enjoy the further trials and tribulations of Liss and Dan.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Leap to Murder
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2011

Our Scottish emporium owner and sleuth, Liss MacCrimmon is back. This time she is a vendor at the first annual "Maine-ly Cozy Con" in Moosetookalook, ME. The convention is being held in her Fiance's Father's hotel and it means big money into the little town.

There is the usual mix of interesting characters as well as the Authors attending the convention. One author is an actress/novelist which makes her the 'Guest of Honor.' Liss notices that an obnoxious woman is confronting persons and the conversations do not look friendly. Next, she gets confronted and finds out that this woman is a blogger with unkind intentions, especially towards herself.

There are town meetings and the store owners go on alert, but, not before the woman is found at the bottom of 'Lover's Leap.' Did she fall and why was she on the wrong side of the railing in the first place?

Liss feels she has to help save the convention and begins to investigate.

This was a quick and comfy read. The character-driven story had me turning the pages.

Quite a complex murder set at a mystery convention. Varied characters in a small town in Maine plus authors and mystery fans. A good combination for murder.

I really enjoyed this book because it had many red herring, but only one that pointed to the real killer, and even that was just a small mention. The characters were believe able and interesting. If you like cozy mysteries this is one to add to your shelf.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were interesting and the writing was great. Even though the book takes place in the U.S., there is still a lot of fun information on Scottish heritage. I’ve already purchase more books in this series.

Another well written and humorous segment in the series. Light hearted and a little morbid with the plots but very enjoyable

4.0 out of 5 stars Ganz nett
Reviewed in Germany on August 5, 2012
Verified Purchase
Der lang erwartete nächste Band der Reihe war ganz nett, auch wenn vom Setting her nicht viel Neues zu lesen war, gab es doch schon einige Krimis, welche an Konferenzen spielten. Dennoch ist es spannend zu lesen, wie sich die Protagonisten weiter entwickeln, auch wenn die Sicht aus mehreren Perspektiven (wie ironischerweise im Buch einmal durch einen Fan angeprangert) hier etwas mühsam sein kann. Am Ende scheint mir die Auflösung vielleicht etwas zu banal, zu gestellt, ich habe es aber dennoch ganz gern gelesen, wenn auch nicht komplett verschlungen. Solides Handwerk.
