Murder in a Scottish Shire is a terrific start to a brand new cosy mystery series by author Traci Hall. This is the first I have read by her and I found the book to be an extremely fun read. I loved the setting of Nairn, a delightful sounding Scottish town by the seaside, so imaginatively depicted by the author. Twenty-eight-year-old single mum, Paislee Shaw has made a great life for herself, her son Brody, 10 and their terrier, Wallace. She owns Cashmere Crush, a bespoke speciality knitwear sho...

I received an advanced copy of this book from Net Galley and the publisher in return for an honest review. The release date for this book is 30 Jun 2020I could not get into this book at all. I felt the material was very dry and it took along time for the story to get moving. I normally like British cozy mysteries but this one just wasn’t my cup of tea

Traci Hall had me at the fact that this is a mystery set in Scotland. She kept me turning pages with characters I fell in love with and a plot that kept me guessing. Paislee Shaw faces a mountain of difficulties as a single mother trying to stay afloat, and does it all with humor, grace and tons of courage, from facing down her son's principal to dealing with her crochety, estranged grandfather, to making certain a murderer is caught. I loved the family feel to this story. Paislee, her son, and

Murder in a Scottish Shire is the first book in the series and I was so excited for it. I enjoyed this cozy mystery that is set in a small charming Scottish town. The story was centered on our main character Paislee, a 28 year old single mum, who owns a lovely shop called the Cashmere Crush – the local knitters’ hang out. Poor Paislee, when it rains it pours and everything seems to be crashing on her world and to be involved in a murder too. This was a great start to a wonderful series that I wo...

I thought this was a solid start to a new cozy mystery series by author Traci Hall. This is the first I have read by her and I found the book to be very enjoyable. Paislee Shaw is a single mother with a lot on her plate, but she is the type of protagonist that I think cozy readers will find relatable. She is down to earth and compassionate. She is surrounded by a diverse group of customers at her yarn shop. I like the relationship between her and her Grandfather Angus - even though he comes as a...

Throw in a kid and a cute dog and you have an entertaining cozy mystery!I am eagerly awaiting the next book in this series!

Es war nicht ganz das, was ich erwartet habe, denn der Krimi war tatsächlich nicht so präsent wie ich gehofft hatte. Ich hatte auch recht schnell die richtige Spur aufgenommen wer der Täter war, aber trotzdem hat es mir gefallen. Weniger als Krimi und mehr als ein Wohlfühlroman. Der Roman lässt sich leicht weglesen und ist dabei sehr entspannend. Vielleicht ein wenig zu ruhig und ein wenig zu detailiert, wenn es um Wolle geht. (Ich stricke nicht und interessiere mich auch nicht für das Thema) Ih...

The new "A Scottish Shire Mystery" series from Kensington Books, written by Traci Hall, aka. Traci Wilton is out now. Murder In A Scottish Shire will have readers traveling to the beautiful land of the brave and delving into the art of knitting. Paislee is a character that has a past, one not as bad as she seems to think, but one she has spent the last ten years trying to fix. This character is immature. The idea that she can't date someone until her son is off to college is not realistic. Takin...

Mi piacciono i libri ambientati in Scozia, quindi non potevo farmi scappare questa serie. Devo dire che il libro mi è piaciuto: un buon cast di personaggi e un omicidio da risolvere che mi ha fatto spremere le meningi fino quasi alla fine. Mi sembra di capire che il mistero su dove sia sparito lo zio della protagonista si trascinerà per un po', ma al momento la cosa non mi da fastidio. Un po' più di noia me lo da la possibilità che la protagonista si trovi ben presto a dover scegliere fra due po...

This was a very, very, good first book in a new series. I have had some real duds as of late and I was very nervous to start this. And then I did and I didn't want to put it down. THAT is a good thing. Set in a small town in Scotland, Paislee Shaw is a really good MC. Flawed and very human, she is easily relatable to and the idea of pulling yourself up from a bad situation and making something of yourself really shines here. She is the owner of Cashmere Crush, a yarn and custom made sweater shop...

Her grandmother taught her to knit and encouraged her dream of opening a shop. Cashmere Crush is a specialty sweater and yarn shop where each week the ladies gather to knit, chat, and sip wine on Thursday evenings. I enjoyed the setting of Nairn and the authors lovely descriptions of the village. Thankfully, the accent was eas...

Eeeeppp --- exciting new cozy mystery alert! Well, newish, there are only two books out and a third with a release day in early 2022. I listened to the first two back-to-back because these characters, the plots and the engaging way Beverly A. Crick brings them to life were irresistible. Love the Scottish setting and the author immerses her readers in the culture through clever dialogue and beautiful descriptions. Definitely an armchair travel kind of read.I haven't read many cozy mysteries with
