Description

When Police Sergeant Hamish Macbeth hears unsettling reports of a haunted castle near Drim—flickering lights, eerie sounds, and villagers whispering of ghosts—he’s determined to treat it as nothing more than local mischief or troublemakers at play. But as the investigation deepens, a sudden death tied to long-buried legends forces Hamish to confront the possibility that the past is more than just folklore. With his trademark blend of small-town charm and sharp detective instincts, Hamish navigates suspicious characters, hidden motives, and the uneasy line between superstition and crime. Themes of community secrets, the weight of history, and the comfort—and danger—of assumptions drive this cozy mystery in M.C. Beaton’s accessible, character-forward style.
