Hamish investigates the mysterious happenings at the village of Stoyne, where the villager are hostile and standoffish, even for Scots! Chust kidding! Lots goes on in this one. Hamish pisses off Elsbeth continously. Must be love!
What a lot of cranky people live in Hamish Macbeth's little village Loehdubh. Hamish is unsuccessful on his Spanish vacation, and he returns to find an unpleasant woman has moved into the village. But not for long, as somewhat murders her. Hamish sure has a mixed-up love life, I swear. But I actually laughed out loud at the conclusion, something I rarely do, especially in this series!
Hamish Macbeth investigates the death of an former junkie. Good story, I think best of the series so far, somewhat disturbing ending should lead to developments in later books.
