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....

Learned a lot about dyeing yarn, story improved at the end, Paisley’s voice always sounded like she was whining…. A detriment.

Knitting

Very enjoyable. There is excellent character development, a good story (I didn’t know who did it!), all performed in a lovely Scottish accent. I highly recommend this one!!

A very good one!

I loved everything about this. Clean and easy to listen to. No gore, no excessive violence, just a great cozy mystery. Just finished this book and I am rolling right into book 2.

So what I initially like about this is that they got to the point in the first part. It wasn’t a long drawn out explanation of the background and details. It was something simple that can happen to anyone. And I know the struggles my mom had as a single mother. She was never in a situation where she was accused or had to be a witness to a murder, but if she did, we would definitely find out what happened. I really like the fact that the grandpa is there because this particular dynamic is different from most of the mysteries I read. I do recommend this ok. this is definitely what I consider a Cozy mystery. I really like it because I can share this with a preteen or teen and I don’t have to worry about language and promiscuity.

Murder in a Scottish Shire is an enjoyable cozy mystery. I look forward to reading the next book.

While I can appreciate adopting the accent of the region, the narrator needs to take into consideration that audiobook listeners have no reference for the written word. Most listeners are not familiar with Scottish accents. Every character sounded either annoyed or whining. Get a new narrator.

Poor Narration
