Book Description:
Blonde, glamorous BBC reporter Crystal French has blown into Lochdubh with Highland Life, a hard-hitting TV show that has more than just the heather shaking. Roaring into town in her bright yellow Porsche, her arrival is heralded by a speeding ticket from Constable Hamish Macbeth, in spite of her attempts at bribery and seduction. Out of revenge, her show first bumps off Felicity Pearson's Countryside program, then insults the shopkeepers to the outrage of the entire village, and finally targets Hamish Macbeth for public humiliation. But when Crystal turns up dead, an apparent suicide that turns out to be murder, the entire village becomes suspect.

The books are different from the TV series. Both are great.

All the Hamish MacBeth series of mysteries are fun, humorous, intelligently written books. Hamish gets no respect from townspeople or his police superiors, and is always unlucky in love, but manages to solve every crime that comes into his jurisdiction.

I am thoroughly enjoying the Hamish Macbeth series...besides the mystery, it is funny, heartwarming and even a little romance! You'll enjoy it - quick read too.

Lochdubh is under attack by a vicious journalist who wishes to expose all secrets. Not too surprisingly, she is murdered and Hamish Macbeth must sort out the clues. Like the whole series, this mystery is well put together and amusing.

The eighteenth book in the series.
Hamish is a suspect when a muckraking reporter is found murdered in Lockdubh.

Hamish MacBeth at his most awesome.. He certainly comes across as very smart, or at least smarter than the "big-city" bobbies in this delightful mystery.
