Description
When a sharp-tongued gossip columnist becomes the latest casualty of a shocking crime, Constable Hamish Macbeth is pulled into a case that turns small-town chatter into lethal danger. As Lady Jane Winters’s searing column leaves a trail of grudges, Hamish teams up with the spirited Priscilla Halburton-Smythe to uncover who had the motive—and the nerve—to silence her for good. Blending cozy mystery pleasures with M. C. Beaton’s signature outrageous black-comedy edge, this story explores how reputation, secrets, and social power can corrode even the most orderly lives. With each clue, Hamish must decide whether the killer is close at hand—or already planning the next strike.
