Description
When a writing workshop in a quiet Scottish village turns deadly, Hamish Macbeth is pulled into a case that begins with a cruel remark and ends with murder. As suspicion swirls around the instructor and his students, a separate shock—an apparent car accident that isn’t what it seems—uncovers a hidden stash of methamphetamine and cash, igniting a dangerous struggle among those who want it gone. With a new boss adding pressure and every clue pointing in conflicting directions, Hamish must navigate small-town rivalries, sharp-tongued motives, and the thin line between boredom and brutality. Blending cozy mystery charm with darker undercurrents of crime and corruption, this installment showcases M.C. Beaton’s brisk pacing and wry, character-driven storytelling as Hamish Macbeth races to stop a killer before the next body drops.
