Death Of A Charming Man

Product Description

Now that Priscilla Halburton-Smythe has agreed to marry him Police Sergeant Hamish Macbeth cant imagine a more perfect life. Theres not much crime in his remote Scottish village of Lochdubh nothing much at all to do but fish drink coffee & slouch around. & now to spend time with lovely Priscilla. But his days arent as tranquil as his dreams. For one thing Priscillas renovation schemes are driving him out of his cottage. Not to mention her ambitious plans for his career as a policeman away from Lochdubh. This might be a good time to find out why Peter Hynds arrival in nearby Drim was causing so much trouble. An attractive unmarried man with an independent income would always attract attention in such a small place. But this time Hynds arrival seems to have caused bitter rivalry among the women of Drim. Hamish finds their petty fights amusing & a clever excuse to avoid Priscilla & her schemes for a new electric stove (to replace his beloved woodburning appliance) a posh new bathroom & virtuous nutrition. Amusing that is until death threats physical abuse & murder make statistical history in one of Scotlands most picture postcard-perfect towns. Praise for M.C. Beaton: The detective novels of M. C. Beaton a master of outrageous black comedy have reached cult status
