No one in Lochdubh expects Dorothy to stay for long...

She is, after all, entirely unsuitable. She's an uptown girl, used to a fancy lifestyle in the big city of Glasgow. She'll never fit in. And how is that work-shy rogue Hamish Macbeth supposed to get anything done when his new assistant is such a distraction? The village needs a police sergeant who can get on with his job, not one who's constantly swooning over his pretty young constable.

Yet PC Dorothy McIver quickly shows how determined she is to win over the locals, and she certainly seems to bring out the best in Macbeth. Then comes a brutal murder and the pair find themselves plunged into a tangled web of conspiracy that acquires a sinister strand when the chilling shadow of Glasgow's underworld creeps to the Highlands and the peaceful village of Lochdubh.

Through it all, the bond between Hamish and Dorothy grows ever stronger. Has Hamish Macbeth finally found the love of his life - and can he track down the murderer before any hope he has for a blissful future is destroyed?

'This Hamish Macbeth novel maintains Beaton's distinctive voice and includes the usual village eccentrics, loads of Scottish lore, and the light humor that Beaton fans have loved through the years. . . A definite purchase for all mystery collections' Starred Review, Library Journal

As a west Highlander, I have lived with and loved Hamish and the gang for three decades. This was a wonderful return, even my 13 yo was exicited waiting for the new book. Beautifully written, warm witty exciting and utterly captivating. i might be a craggy old highlander but this was so poignant it hurt.
Some changes in accents, Pricilla is posher, Hamish more Highland, and the Currie twins as brilliant as ever. please can Blair get a right kicking next time!!. keep on.. Hamish is part of our lives.

Welcome back Hamish. My heart is sore.

Story not as good as the older books. Although it says narrated by David Monteath none of the characters sound quite the same

This doesn't sound like David Monteath
