Hamish Macbeth is back to solve another murder in the surprisingly murder prone highlands of Scotland. This time, the victim is a gentle elderly lady, beloved by all, except for Hamish, who believes her a bad tempered hypocrite.

I love this series featuring Hamish MacBeth, set in Scotland, and this one is just as good as the earlier ones. In this one, there are two murders that Hamish investigates, and then someone is tries to kill him. The ending has a surprise in it, also, that helps to resolve an issue that has been continuing throughout the earlier books.
