Murder in a Scottish Shire cover



 Synopsis:

For a twenty-eight-year-old single mum, Paislee has knit together a sensible life for herself, her ten-year-old son Brody, and Wallace, their black Scottish terrier. Having inherited a knack for knitting from her dear departed grandmother, Paislee also owns a specialty sweater shop called Cashmere Crush, where devoted local crafters gather weekly for her Knit and Sip.
Lately, though, Paislee feels as if her life is unraveling. She’s been served an eviction notice, and her estranged and homeless grandfather has just been brought to her door by a disconcertingly handsome detective named Mack Zeffer. As if all that wasn't enough, Paislee discovers a young woman who she recently rehired to help in the shop dead in her flat, possibly from an overdose of her heart medicine. But as details of the death and the woman’s life begin to raise suspicions for Detective Inspector Zeffer, it’s Paislee who must untangle a murderous yarn . . .

Review:

This is a quick read, but an adorable zoy mystery, with likeable characters and honest situations, we can all relate to, as single mothers. When secrets start to unravel, Paislee finds herself drawn to different paths of her past life and they all suddenly converge and she finds herself looking at new ones that offer a new life for her, if she can survive a killer that wants her gone. Fun read for a quite afternoon!
