A Scottish Shire Mystery sends its protagonist from America to the Scottish Highlands, where she opens a yarn shop and keeps finding dead bodies. Traci Hall’s eight-book series, starting with Murder in a Scottish Shire (2020), uses the Highland setting to full effect — castles, gardens, weddings, Christmas celebrations, and Highland games all serve as backdrops for murder investigations.
The series has expanded steadily, with each new installment placing a murder at a different Scottish occasion or location. The titles follow a consistent “Murder at/in a Scottish…” format that signals both the setting and the cozy mystery genre.
