Synopsis
This &“enjoyable&” Maine-set mystery &“skillfully uses misdirection to keep the reader guessing to the end&” (Publishers Weekly). Business is booming at the Scottish Emporium in Moosetookalook, Maine, and Liss MacCrimmon Ruskin couldn&’t be happier—or busier. A romantic getaway at a rustic Christmas tree farm is just what she needs. But the property&’s mysterious past has her feeling less than merry . . . Liss is surprised when an old friend asks her to spend a week at the Christmas tree farm she just inherited. Realizing it&’s a perfect chance for her and her husband, Dan, to get away, Liss happily accepts and packs her bags for the tiny town of New Boston. Upon their arrival, they&’re greeted by a ramshackle farmhouse and unfriendly townsfolk. It&’s hardly the idyllic vacation locale they hoped for, especially when needling neighbors raise questions about the farm&’s dark history. Who was the man whose body was found neatly netted in a shipment of Scotch pine? Why did the owner vanish into thin air? And why are the trees growing so close together, forming a maze more twisted than a Celtic knot? The rumors pile up faster than snowdrifts in a blizzard, and something even more scandalous than murder hides beneath the town's humdrum façade. When a series of &“accidents&” strikes the farm, she&’ll have to spring into action faster than a Highland Fling to find the killer lurking among the pines—before she ends up in a pine box herself . . . &“An enjoyable small-town Christmas cozy.&” —Library Journal &“Fans of Carolyn Hart&’s Death on Demand series will enjoy this.&” —Booklist
