The Scottie Barked At Midnight by Kaitlyn Dunnett, 278 pages

Another slightly Scottish themed murder mystery set in Maine. A reality talent show competition ends up with Liss MacCrimmon competing with a pair of dancing Scotties after their owner dies. Liss must try to figure out if it was murder, and if so, who's the guilty party. Hopefully Liss can nose out the truth or she may dance her way to death.
