A Wee Murder In My Shop

Reviewed by Debbie Wiley
Posted March 4, 2015

Peggy Winn is infuriated by her now ex-boyfriend's latest betrayal, and her regular trip to Scotland to seek out stock for her shop, ScotShop, is the perfect antidote. Little does Peggy expect to return home from Scotland with a ghost! Unfortunately, a ghost isn't Peggy's only problem as her philandering ex-boyfriend, Mason Kilmarty, is found dead in Peggy's shop. Can Peggy uncover the murderer and cope with a fourteenth century Scottish ghost?

The very first paragraph of A WEE MURDER IN MY SHOP hooked me as I couldn't help but laugh at Peggy's reflection on yoga breaths in the midst of her fury at Mason. However, it is the town of Hamelin, Vermont, however, that charms its way into the readers hearts. I love the coziness of the ScotShop and the Logg Cabin and only wished we'd seen just a bit more of this quaint town.

A WEE MURDER IN MY SHOP is a fun start to the ScotShop Mystery series. I hope we get to see a bit more character development as there were a lot of hints about the characters but not many questions were answered. I look forward to seeing more of Dirk, the ghost, in particular as he gets his bearings in the modern world.
