A busman's holiday for Hamish . . .

After losing both his promotion and the lovely Priscilla Halburton-Smythe, Hamish Macbeth decides the best cure for a broken heart is a week's break at the charming coastal village of Skag.

When he arrives at the Friendly House B&B, however, he finds the ambience chilling, the food inedible and his fellow guests less than neighbourly. They include the annoying Miss Gunnery; a family from London; and Bob Harris, who so nags his wife that everyone wants to kill him. And then somebody does.

Now it is up to Hamish to act - to dig deep into the past and deliver something more daunting than merely the culprit: justice.

Just a lovely way to spend a few hours. Gentle story (well as gentle as murder can be) with humour and sadness. Beautifully read. Next please …

I like the storyline and trying to workout who killed whom.
However the Authoress, really likes to portrait the worst of people. Hamish is as nasty, mean and spiteful as the other characters. In fact everyone, except the Doctor's Wife and Asian shop keepers (so far), like to be bitchy. I thought the migies were worst Scotland had to offer. Yet the Authoress portrait a population of nasty minded people.

Typical Hamish Macbeth
