Review of The Corpse Wore Tartan

Title: The Corpse Wore Tartan

Author: Kaitlyn Dunnett

Series: A Liss MacCrimmon Scottish Mystery

 

Chapters: 19

Pages: 310

Genre: Mystery

Rating: 4 stars

                The Corpse Worn Tartan is the fourth Liss Mystery. This one involves the hotel that Liss’s boyfriend’s family owns and a Burns night supper. It basically is a murder mystery play. I am pretty sure that this one was my favorite so far.

     I enjoy the A Liss MacCrimmon Scottish Mysteries. That’s because it is a cozy mystery that even though there’s murder and crimes in them it doesn’t describe the crime or murder. 

Review of A Wee Christmas Homicide

Title: A Wee Christmas Homicide

Author: Kaitlyn Dunnett

Series: A Liss MacCrimmon Scottish mystery

 

Chapters: 19

Pages: 278

Genre: Cozy Mystery

Rating: 4 stars

A Wee Christmas Homicide is the third book in the A Liss MacCrimmon Scottish Mystery. In this mystery it involves Christmas shopping, teddy bears, and murder. I enjoyed it. I especially liked learning about the Scottish Christmas traditions. It seems to me that every where Liss goes a mystery always follows her or finds her.  There are only three books left as of now from me to read in the series. 

Review of Scone Cold Dead

Title: Scone Cold Dead

Author:  Kaitlyn Dunnett

Series: A Liss MacCrimmon

 

Chapters: 18

Pages: 266

Genre: Mystery

Rating: 4 ½ stars

      Scone Cold Dead is the second book in the Liss MacCrimmon mystery series.  Liss has gotten her former dancing troop Strathspey to come to her hometown to perform a show. In the process Liss lands right smack in the middle of another mystery.

      I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I did the first book in the series, but it was a good read.  Unlike the first book I was able to figure out who done it before the end of the book, before Liss even figured it out.  I think that is what made it less enjoyable.  But it was still a good book. I am also looking forward to reading the other books in the series. 

Review of Kilt Dead

Title: Kilt Dead

Author: Kaitlyn Dunnett

Series: A Liss MacCrimmon Mystery

 

Chapters: 20

Pages: 281

Genre: Mystery

Rating: 4 stars

     Liss has given up a career as a professional dancer after a career ending injury. She is staying in her hometown of Moose and working at her aunts Scottish store. However Liss in encounter’s a dead body and the police think that she is the one who killed her neighbor.  Liss has to play decetive in order to clear her name before it’s too late.

     Kilt Dead is the first book in the Liss MacCrimmon mysteries by Kaitlyn Dunnett. I enjoyed it, the book kept me guessing till the very end. There were a few cuss words in the book, but not many. For a mainstream mystery it was a relatively clean read, but there were a few scenes where things were implied to have happened, but no details were given.
