Kaitlyn Dunnett writes cozy mysteries with a distinctive Scottish flavor. Her Liss MacCrimmon Mysteries series, which began with Kilt Dead in 2007, follows Liss MacCrimmon, a former professional Scottish dancer who runs a Scottish gift shop in the fictional town of Moosetookalook, Maine. The series stretches to 13 books, with titles like Scone Cold Dead, The Corpse Wore Tartan, and Kilt at the Highland Games playing on the Scottish theme.
Her second series, Deadly Edits, started with Crime & Punctuation in 2018 and follows a freelance editor in rural Maine who keeps stumbling into murder investigations. With four books, the series has a lighter tone that fits the cozy mystery genre. Dunnett writes under a pen name; she is also known for writing historical fiction and romance under other names. Her cozy mysteries are known for their small-town settings, recurring casts of quirky characters, and puzzles that readers can solve along with the protagonist.
