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 new "hot" toy of the season. Every store across the country is out of stock-except a few wee establishments in good ol' Moosetookalook. The first sign of something amiss occurs when the last Tiny Teddy is summarily executed: shot through the heart in the display window of greedy toy store owner Gavin Thorne. But the Teddy's demise is just a precursor to the eerily similar murder of Gavin himself...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..."A picturesque location a bit of romance some suspense and a cast of appealingly quirky characters." --Booklist"The blend of romance and cozy mystery will please lovers of all things Scottish."--Kirkus Reviews "Perfect for the holiday season."--Romantic Times
