While Liss MacCrimmon preps the Scottish Emporium for November's inevitable shopping rush, other local businesses aren't half as lucky. When her father-in-law decides to entice childless couples desperate for a holiday away from family to his rustic hotel, the unusual marketing tactic has everyone in Moosetookalook, Maine, in an uproar. Liss dismisses the bad publicity as being totally "overkilt"--until angry mobs fill the streets, the troublemaker who started it all turns up dead, and her loved ones are suspected of murder. It's up to Liss to digest a slew of unsettling clues and catch the real killer before everything she's ever been thankful for vanishes before her eyes.

"Full of local color, suspicious characters, and adorable fur-babies. What's not to like?"
--Kirkus Reviews on The Scottie Barked at Midnight
