X Marks the Scot
X Marks the Scot | Kaitlyn Dunnett
7 posts | 5 read | 4 to read
The old Chadwick mansion on the edge of Moosetookalook, Maine, has been shrouded in mystery for generations--until Scottish Emporium owner Liss MacCrimmon uncovers a forgotten family secret. But she never imagined that a little curiosity would lead her into such deadly territory . . . While perusing auction items from the Chadwick estate, Liss purchases a painting of a bagpiper to add to her collection. Her interest shifts from art to sleuthing upon a strange discovery--what appears to be a treasure map tucked behind the canvas. She's even more intrigued when she links the scroll to an early Chadwick who smuggled goods across the Canadian border. So during a business trip to Canada, Liss arranges a meeting with an archivist in hopes of pinning down the truth about the map and the Chadwick bloodline. Before her quest moves forward, however, she finds the archivist's murdered body at a local genealogical society. One thing is certain--Liss isn't alone on this treasure hunt . . . Liss returns to Moosetookalook, terrified that the killer may have followed her home. With her life in real peril and the map at risk of being stolen, she launches into full-scale investigation mode. But as she deciphers clues and inches toward the dangerous culprit, Liss quickly realizes she's only a step away from ending up like the Chadwick clan--permanently wiped out.

And now, a cozy mystery! I chose it because I do an unofficial alphabet challenge and I needed an X title, not because the colour scheme matches my dog. That‘s just a bonus.

Centique How photogenic is your dog?!! Such a regal pose! 😍 2y
xicanti @Centique he looks like a noble little soul, but in reality he‘s a goofball! 2y

I really enjoyed this cozy mystery set in Maine. This is my first time meeting Liss MacCrimmon, owner of the town's Scottish Emporium. I loved how the author gave us many suspects, each with a motive and then an alibi at just the right moment. When I thought we'd learn who was behind it all, they would have a way out. I think I've read three cozies total, but this one is my favorite.

PurpleyPumpkin This cozy mystery series is a favourite of mine. But I wasn‘t aware of this book, so thanks for posting. Stacked!📚 3y
Shae_Purcell @PurpleyPumpkin I think I only added this one to my TBR list because of the cat on the cover, which is why I randomly started at Book 11, but I'm glad I did! This one was a lot of fun. 😊 3y

"She was still there, enjoying her day off by sitting on her front porch and reading the newest mystery in the Mistress Jaffrey series, when Sherri emerged from cyberspace and stopped by to share what she‘d found."

Ha! The author plugged her other mystery series by showing her main character reading it. This had me laughing! This author has a few pseudonyms from what I can tell and uses her full name to write the Mistress Jaffrey series.

Shae_Purcell The first book in the Mistress Jaffrey series, in case anyone's interested. 😁 3y
PurpleyPumpkin And another series to add to my never ending tbr!👍🏽😂📚 3y
Shae_Purcell @PurpleyPumpkin Same! I thought this was clever. 😁 3y

Time for something a little more lighthearted. I just realized that this is book #11 in the series, but I've already downloaded it and others have commented that they also started with this book so I'm giving it a go. If you've read it and think otherwise, please let me know! Truth be told, I probably added this to my TBR because it has a cat on the cover . . .
