I really wanted to like this one. I'm a fan of all things Scottish, but this one didn't really hit the mark. Don't get me wrong it was okay (hence, the 3 stars) - I just wouldn't pick this one up again. Having said that I'm giving Liss 1 more chance. I hope it fares better. (

And here ends the 2011 Christmas books. I have to say I'm kind of relieved, as none of them were very good. Next year I'm opting for trashier novels, preferably with Highlander in the title :) (

A bit amateurish and a light read, but it held my interest and was a well laid out mystery. It did get to the point where I thought if I read "Moosetookalook Scottish Emporium" one more time, I would scream; the Scottish angle is very contrived. (

When Liss MacCrimmon discovers that tiny Moosetookalook, Maine, has the only supply in New England of the season's hottest Christmas item, she convinces the other business owners to participate in a festival that will draw shoppers to the town. When one of her fellow shop keepers is murdered, Liss ends up in the middle of the investigation.

Once I was able to overlook the improbability of the impromptu town festival, I enjoyed this Christmas cozy. I like Liss, and I enjoyed the references to other mystery writers and the tongue-in-cheek references to the kinds of situations cozy heroines like Liss find themselves in. This series is one of my favorite discoveries of the year, and I look forward to reading about more of Liss's adventures. (

"The blend of romance and cozy mystery will please lovers of all things Scottish." �??Kirkus

'Tis the season to be jolly, but in Moosetookalook, Maine, Christmas cheer is in short supply due to a snowless winter that's keeping skiers and shoppers at a distance. Fortunately, Liss MacCrimmon of the Scottish Emporium has a plan . . .

Liss's brainstorm focuses on Tiny Teddies, the hot new toy of the season. Every store across the country is out of stock�??except a few wee establishments in good ol' Moosetookalook.

Now, with the Twelve (or, in Scots terms, the Daft) Days of Christmas rapidly approaching, Liss has a plate full of things worse than haggis to contend with, starting with a stockroom packed with poultry (don't ask), and ending with a killer who'd like to see Liss's goose well and fully cooked . . .
