When it comes to weddings, Liss
MacCrimmon's mother, Vi, has her own ideas about
tradition. Instead of white, Vi sees tartan, tartan, and more tartan. And she
sees it at the Medieval Scottish Conclave at the Western Maine Highland Games.
Add picketers protesting the reenactment of a historic battle and a
reproduction broadsword as a murder weapon and Liss
finds herself smack in the middle of another mystery. If Liss
doesn't solve this one, and quickly, she might never say "I do,"
let alone "til death do
us part."
from

history and culture, this intelligent entry will appeal to newcomers and
established fans alike."

Vampires,
Bones, and Treacle Scones, the seventh Liss MacCrimmon Scottish-American
Heritage Mystery by Kaitlyn Dunnett,
takes place at Halloween in Moosetookalook, Maine,
but it will be in stores this summer, on July 30th to be exact. In this
adventure, newlywed Liss and her friends are trying
to turn an abandoned house into a “haunted mansion” as a fundraiser. Minor
mishaps and objects that mysteriously vanish only to reappear somewhere else
seem like harmless pranks at first, but the game turns deadly when a skeleton Liss acquires for a special effect is replaced by the very
real, very dead body of someone she knows.

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."

"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."
