Summary

Summary

The aromas of wild thyme and Highland heather waft through Lochdubh, home to M. C. Beaton’s lanky policeman, Hamish Macbeth. Yet what the likeable village constable senses in his latest case is the acrid scent of fear as an entire town is entrapped in something dark and deadly.

Yet, as he deftly investigates the summer’s high crimes and misdemeanors, he attracts the attention of his superiors. They feel a promotion and transfer will give him a larger playing field than his small village, but that’s the last thing Macbeth wants. Now the likeable constable needs a clever way to quash the move without losing his job entirely.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Hamish in top form, with intriguing puzzles to solve, the possibility of a new romance, and ever more inventive ways of avoiding a promotion to higher rank and transfer from his beloved Lochdubh.” Kirkus Reviews
“All Macbeth’s talents are on display as he performs a heroic rescue, outwits some crooks, and meets violence with violence.” Publishers Weekly
“Beaton adds a new twist to the standard murder-in-a-village plot…Another delightful installment in a perennially entertaining series.” Booklist
“The trademark charm of the series—quirky humor, eccentric characters, and dark overtones—is in full swing here; fans will be well pleased, and readers new to Lochdubh can enjoy this as a stand-alone volume.” School Library Journal
