Description
In the tranquil Highland village of Lochdubh, Constable Hamish Macbeth’s comfortable routine is shattered when a newcomer, Trixie Thomas, is poisoned—an attack that quickly turns neighborly gossip into urgent suspicion. As the investigation unfolds, Hamish must balance the case with his own private turmoil, confronting the questions of loyalty, judgment, and what truly lies beneath a “perfect” life. With its cozy-mystery charm and sharp, character-driven humor, this installment blends small-town intrigue with deeper reflections on morality and the cost of keeping appearances. M.C. Beaton’s signature style—wry, observant, and warmly human—guides readers through a suspenseful puzzle where every clue carries a personal consequence.
