Description
In the rugged Scotland Highlands, Hamish Macbeth is drawn into a case that begins with a church raffle and ends with a shocking death. Mrs. Gillespie—beloved for her spotless work yet notorious for her sharp tongue—turns up dead in a grand house while its retired professor is away, struck by a falling bucket of water. As Hamish follows the trail of gossip, hidden habits, and the secrets a “maid” might uncover, the investigation widens to anyone whose home she cleaned. With its cozy, character-driven charm and M. C. Beaton’s brisk, witty storytelling, this mystery explores the thin line between reputation and ruin, and how small-town knowledge can become dangerous.
