from the dust jacket: Hundreds of the most creative minds in murder are assembling in the tiny town of Moosetookalook, Maine---and before the final page is turned, one of them will be writing in the past tense . . .

from reviews:

Publisher's Weekly: "a fast-moving plot with unexpected twists, and well-drawn characters help make this cozy a winner."

Kirkus Reviews: "Just like the Maine-ly Cozy Con authors, Dunnett provides a pleasant diversion with a wide choice of murder suspects for her heroine to investigate."

Booklist: "The mystery-conference frame, the details of small-town life, and the presence of an appealing amateur detective, who also has to resolve issues with a former flame while planning her wedding, contribute to a satisfying entry in the series."

From the cover copy:

The bagpipes are blaring at The Spruces, Moosetookalook's finest hotel, reopened just in time to host the Burns Night Supper, an annual celebration of Scotland's beloved poet, Robert Burns. In the midst of a long Maine winter, the festivities are just the thing to give the hotel a much needed boost—and to bring fresh business to Liss's shop.

But when the Scottish Heritage Appreciation Society arrives on the scene, they bring more than a hunger for haggis and a passion for plaid. The quarrelsome group harbors their share of long held grudges, and the animosity only grows as the whiskey flows. Then a fierce blizzard hits, trapping everyone—angry Scotsmen, hapless hotel staff, and Liss herself—inside.

"In time-honored Agatha Christie tradition, the blizzard provides an inviting, insular crime scene bristling with suspects."
Publisher's Weekly

"This is a teriffic locked room (locked hotel is more descriptive) mystery."
Harriet Klausner

"Using Tiny Teddies, highly collectible bears, to launch a Twelve Days of Christmas marketing ploy should be a totally benign means of attracting customers for the business owners of Moosetookalook, Maine, but Liss MacCrimmon's brainchild brings in a frenzy of bear-hunters—and a crazed killer—in Dunnett's lively, clean-as-a-whistle third cozy to feature the co-owner of the Scottish Emporium."
Publisher's Weekly

"This cozy mystery has it all—a picturesque location, a bit of romance, some suspense, and a cast of appealingly quirky characters."
