Description
When Priscilla Halburton-Smythe arrives in the Scottish village of Lochdubh with her charming playwright fiancé, the town’s excitement quickly curdles into suspicion. At her engagement party, a guest is found murdered, and the festive atmosphere turns into a tightly wound puzzle of motives, misunderstandings, and social rivalries. As Constable Hamish Macbeth navigates jealousy, romance, and small-town secrets, he must race to protect Priscilla from a future she may not want—and to identify the killer before more lives are upended. Blending outrageous black comedy with the pleasures of a classic cozy whodunnit, this story explores love, reputation, and the dangerous distance between appearances and truth.
