Synopsis

Sweater shop owner Paislee Shaw puts the yarn in Nairn, but a killer has put poison in some Scottish shortbread cookies . . .

Opening her shop Cashmere Crush and making a new home for herself, her son Brody, Gramps, and their black Scottish terrier Wallace in the beautiful Scottish village of Nairn, is a dream come true. So Paislee is happy to give back by donating a luxurious cashmere sweater for an auction to raise money for the Nairn Food Bank. She's less happy to make the acquaintance of a clique of competitive moms at the charity event, who treat a baking contest like it's life or death. It turns out to be the latter for queen bee Kirsten Buchanan when a peanut-laced shortbread cookie triggers her fatal nut allergy.

Who would poison Kirsten? How about half the town? But when Paislee's pal Blaise is suspected, the sweater-selling sleuth leaps into action to unravel the mystery. Along with gruff but handsome DI Mack Zeffer, she has to sort through a batch of suspects without becoming this cookie-cutter killer's next target . . .

This is the first book I have read in the Scottish Shire Mystery series. I enjoyed the setting complete with a dose of Scottish dialect.

2.5 This is book 3 in the Scottish Shire series and while some parts were good, most of this I didn’t love. The story kicks off when a shortbread cookie kills the “Queen Bee” of a “competitive mom clique” and Paislee Shaw, owner of Cashmere Crush Sweater Shop becomes the sleuth to figure out who add......more

I have enjoyed the “Scottish Shire Mystery” series since book one. The latest addition Murder At A Scottish Social adds new interest to the series and brings readers deeper into Paislee’s world. This time, Paislee uses her yarn shop and skills to help the needy. Never would she have thought that peo......more
