Summary

Amazing news is spreading like wildfire across the Scottish countryside: the most famous of all Lochdubh, remotely nestling in the Highlands, is perfectly anonymous... until well-known TV reporter Crystal French races into town in her bright new BMW. And PC Hamish Macbeth, dourly wed to duty rather than the fiancée who dumped him, promptly gives her a ticket for reckless driving.

Outraged, Crystal makes Macbeth's life a misery with a TV report on policing in the Highlands... but when she also rakes up old local scandals for her new hit show, Macbeth notes that someone besides himself might be dead keen to stop her. And then someone does.

Now, finding out who did away with the nosy reporter will lead the laconic Macbeth down roads he never envisioned... and perhaps a crisis of the heart all his own.

Novel and Enjoyable

One of the better ones, which still leaves questions about Hamish’s love life - quite foolishly so.

Another great story with Hamish

These stories are very easy listening. Although they are murder mysteries, there are enough other things going on, and clues to find, to enjoy the story. When I've listened to them all I'm going to really miss the pen of M C Beaton RIP.

Great Crime plot

really liked the characters she bring into the story and the way the story is weaved into the fabric of Loch dubh
David Monteith excellent narration bring these characters alive . I've listened to the Hamish Macbeth series a few times and they humour always raises a chuckle.
