Murder in a Scottish Shire

By: Traci Hall

Narrated by: Beverley A. Crick

Known as the Brighton of the North, Nairn is both a charming Scottish town and a popular seaside resort - but to Paislee Shaw, it's simply home - unfortunately to a murderer....

For a 28-year-old single mum, Paislee has knit together a sensible life for herself, her 10-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 Zeffer, it's Paislee who must untangle a murderous yarn....

Cute first in series…but

Give this a pass if fat shaming irks you.
Otherwise it’s a fun read with interesting supporting characters.

Scottish trouble

A glimpse inside a Scottish village through the eyes of our single mom business owner of a yarn shop. A complex murder to solve by a believable amateur sleuth.

Cozy and easy to listen too

Just a sweet, charming, easy listen! The narration is good, and the story interesting and well paced!

Loved it!

I really enjoyed the twists and turns in the story, the characters, and the narration!
