Liss MacCrimmon has returned to her hometown in Maine to help her aunt run the Scottish Emporium she owns. But when the local busy body winds up dead in the stock room, Liss must clear herself of murder. I liked the characters well enough, but there wasn't enough plot to sustain a 300 pages novel. It would have worked better at 200 pages.

Good follow on from movie 1!
I loved the first movie so I was very excited to see this one. I was not disappointed! Great characters, amazing rooms and puzzles. My only point would be if they had made movies for the other rooms. The priests room would have been interesting considering he was convinced the Lord would help him through. It would have been good to see how they got out and why Zoey and Ben weren't supposed to.

"Directors going independent to make precisely the film they want was not begun — as we sometimes think — by the latterday Johns (Cassavetes and Sayles). After World War Two John Ford formed an indie with the legendary producer (war hero also) Merian C. Cooper: Wagon Master was the lovely result, a film that seems like folk art. The stirring score and brilliant diagonals of Ford’s composition greatly inspired us in the Barcelona edit room — though I’m not sure if any trace of that influence could be found in our film."
