About this listen

 Not bored to death but murder most foul . . .

Celebrated author John Heppel is known in Lochdubh as a self-important bore, prone to belittling the scribblings of the locals in his creative writing class. So when he's found dead, his mouth oozing ink, it seems a fitting fate.

But for PC Hamish Macbeth the murder is more than a disruption to idyllic village life - especially when the media arrive, trailing in their wake DCI Heather Meikle, a maneater with a taste for bachelor police constables. Hamish must rekindle an old flame to escape her clutches and pull out all the stops to find the killer . . .

'It's always a special treat to return to Lochdubh' New York Times Cosy Crime Fiction Mystery Police Procedurals Traditional Detectives

Came back to this series after a break - has a definite charm - but obviously nothing deep and significant.
