The Corpse Wore Tartan

The Corpse Wore Tartan
by Kaitlynn Dunnett

I picked up this book because the name of the town intrigued me. It's Moosetookalook, Maine. I had hoped that the author would tell me how the town got its name, but no such luck. Instead I found a charming cozy with a Scottish-American heritage theme. Our heroine, Liss MacCrimmon, is helping to host the Scottish Heritage Appreciation Society's annual Burns Night Supper at the Spruces hotel. The festivities get off to a bad start when Phineas MacMillian insults everyone at the dinner and his twin, Phil, finds that someone has stolen his clan crest broach. Liss calls in local police officers, Sheri Willet and Pete Campbell, to investigate. As the evening wears on the heavy snow turns into a blizzard, stranding everyone at the hotel with no electricity or way to communicate with the outside world. Someone takes advantage of the situation to commit murder.
