Ho-Ho-Homicide
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
This "enjoyable" Maine-set mystery "skillfully uses misdirection to keep the reader guessing to the end" (Publishers Weekly).
Business is booming at the Scottish Emporium in Moosetookalook, Maine, and Liss MacCrimmon Ruskin couldn't be happier—or busier. A romantic getaway at a rustic Christmas tree farm is just what she needs. But the property's mysterious past has her feeling less than merry . . .
Liss is surprised when an old friend asks her to spend a week at the Christmas tree farm she just inherited. Realizing it's a perfect chance for her and her husband, Dan, to get away, Liss happily accepts and packs her bags for the tiny town of New Boston.
Upon their arrival, they're greeted by a ramshackle farmhouse and unfriendly townsfolk. It's hardly the idyllic vacation locale they hoped for, especially when needling neighbors raise questions about the farm's dark history. Who was the man whose body was found neatly netted in a shipment of Scotch pine? Why did the owner vanish into thin air? And why are the trees growing so close together, forming a maze more twisted than a Celtic knot?
The rumors pile up faster than snowdrifts in a blizzard, and something even more scandalous than murder hides beneath the town's humdrum façade. When a series of "accidents" strikes the farm, she'll have to spring into action faster than a Highland Fling to find the killer lurking among the pines—before she ends up in a pine box herself . . .

September 22, 2014
At the outset of Dunnett’s enjoyable eighth Liss MacCrimmon Scottish mystery (after 2013’s Vampires, Bones, and Treacle Stones), old high school friend Gina Snowe asks Liss to check out the Christmas tree farm that Gina recently inherited. As the owner of the Moosetookalook, Maine, Scottish Emporium, Liss feels qualified to judge whether the farm has a viable future. With husband Dan, she turns the trip into a pre-Christmas break, but the two soon realize that a pall hangs over the farm. Seven years before, a body was found in a shipment to New York, and the farm’s owner disappeared. The engaging, level-headed Liss starts asking questions and raising police hackles. Could she and Dan be involved in solving a seven-year-old murder case? While the dynamic between Liss and Dan lacks spark, Dunnett (the pseudonym of Kathy Lynn Emerson) skillfully uses misdirection to keep the reader guessing to the end. Agent: Christina Hogrebe, Jane Rotrosen Agency.
