All Paislee wants for Christmas is for her new home to be finished, but it looks like sheâll have to wait for New Yearâs Day. Whether the paint on the walls has dried or not, sheâll host a feast for her twelve-year-old son Brody, Grandpa, their black Scottish terrier Wallace, and friendsâincluding police station receptionist Amelia Henry and her brother McCormac, whose black locks can fulfill the Scottish first-footer tradition that a tall, dark-haired man should be the first person to enter your home on New Yearâs to bring good luck.
But McCormacâs luck is about to run out. During Hogmanayâwhen the Scots welcome the New Year with dancing, bonfires, and midnight fireworksâhe collapses as the sky brightens in a blaze of color. A shooter has used the noise of the fireworks to hide a gunâs blast. Amelia is inconsolable, and Paislee vows to do whatever she can to help DI Zeffer solve the murderâeven if it puts her in the killerâs sights next . . .

đRelaxing holidays in Nairn? Not really!đ This entertaining murder mystery has series FL Paislee Shaw spending what should be a relaxing break between Christmas and New Year's running around helping her friend Amelia whose "reformed" favorite brother has left a trail of romances and questions about his finances behind along with a bevy of adorable puppies. The more they investigate his shocking murder, the more Amelia realizes her brother was not the man she thought he'd become. Cute dogs!

What made this story stand out for me were the supportive and charming secondary characters surrounding the MC. I love that Paislee was a single mother, which provides a different take on typical amateur sleuths and her along with her grandfather in tow. The multigenerational household delivers a cozy environment that I love about this subgenre. Additionally, I love when there is a love story integrated in the book and there are hopeful prospects that Paislee encounters as well in this book.
