With the summer days getting shorter in the seaside village of Nairn, the annual bagpiping competition at Ramsey Castle promises to be quite the end-of-season blowout. Paisley has snagged a special invitation from the dowager countess, who wants to showcase her cashmere goods in the castle gift shop, and she's brought her son Brody, Grandpa, and their black Scottish terrier Wallace.
There's a fierce rivalry between Robert Grant, the Earl of Lyon, and last year's winner Jory Baxter, with Grant loudly vowing to show up the blowhard Baxter and claim clan bragging rights. But the reigning champion has barely put the reed to his lips when he turns red and collapses, soon to take his dying breath. DI Zeffer suspects foul play.
With a possible murderer in their midst, the rest of Nairn won't breathe easy until Paisley applies her sleuthing skills to make sure justice is served and the killer pays the piper . . .

A bagpipe contest is the scene of an unusual murder. Paislee Shaw, who lives with her son, Brody, her grandfather, Angus, and their Scottish terrier, Wallace, in Nairn, Scotland, is proud that her handmade cashmere knitwear has been chosen for the new gift shop at nearby Ramsey Castle. The castle will host a prestigious bagpipe competition, followed by a barbecue given by the Grant family. The Dowager Countess is eager to make a go of monetizing the castle with help from her family, even though her oldest son, Robert Grant, Earl of Lyon, is less than pleased. Robert's already furious that last year, for the first time, his pipers lost to Clan Cunningham and Jory Baxter, their new star. When Jory passes out in the middle of playing, Paislee's friend Jerry McFadden rushes to help. Jory's bagpipes vanish in the confusion, and a wrangle breaks out over a possible rematch--and then word comes that Jory has died at the hospital. The police, who treat Jory's death as suspicious, investigate, bringing Paislee up against her nemesis, the snarky but attractive D.I. Mack Zeffer. Because Paislee's helped solve murders before, the Dowager Countess presses her to investigate. Paislee's always on a tight budget, so when a water leak damages her house, she and her family move to the vacant apartment of her friends Lydia and Corbin. Suspecting something hinky about those missing bagpipes, the sleuths go all in to find them and provide the clues that will solve the mysteries. Plenty of suspects and a touch of romance set against a delightful Scottish backdrop.COPYRIGHT(2023) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
