Description

In the Scottish Highlands, Police Constable Hamish Macbeth watches his quiet community of Braikie scramble to survive the recession—until a carefully marketed “Fairy Glen” draws in tourists and renewed hope. But when a rare kingfisher is discovered dead in Buchan’s Wood, the town’s fragile optimism curdles into fear as vandalism escalates and the mystery deepens. As Hamish follows clues through local rivalries, hidden motives, and the pressures of keeping a small town afloat, the case expands from cruelty to something far more dangerous. With M. C. Beaton’s signature blend of cozy charm and sharp social observation, this Hamish Macbeth mystery delivers a suspenseful, character-driven investigation where the beauty of the landscape can’t protect anyone from the truth.
