MURDER AT A SCOTTISH SOCIAL Scottish Shire, Book 3

Beverley Crick's lilting Scottish accent takes listeners straight to the seaside town of Nairn, where Paislee runs a knitting shop, cares for her son and grandfather, hangs with some nasty women, and solves murders on the side. At a fundraiser for the local food bank, someone poisons the shortbread, with dire results. Crick's performance, especially her nuanced use of inflection and pacing, wrings every bit of spite from the adult mean girls who plague Paislee's every move. This is the third in the series, and a lot is going on, some of which seems incomprehensible, particularly Paislee's relationships with her grandfather and the handsome police detective. Start at the beginning for the best experience. S.G. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2022]
