Hamish is smitten once again. This time to a lovely woman who has "the sight" and is responsible for the increase in tourism to Braikie. When the family of kingfishers is found dead and a bridge is vandalized, Hamish becomes concerned there is a connection to the death of a rich dour woman who believes in fairies. There are suspects galore and several of them are eliminated.. permanently. This is a good addition to the Hamish Macbeth series, but I found the ending a bit long and convoluted.....

All M.C. Beaton's Hamish McBeth series are excellent English cozy mysteries - this one is no exception! In fact, it's a bit more interesting than some with the care of an ancestral estate at stake. As a current and ongoing issue in England, it's a bit educational as to what some landowners have to go through. Kept my interest throughout. Great book!

M. C. Beaton does not disappoint. Hamish is his usual self - Using his knowledge of the Scottish highlnds to catchthe bad guy.

Hamish is once again smitten. This time by a lovely woman who has "the sight" and is responsible for the increase in the tourism to Braikie. When the family of Kingfishers is found dead and a bridge is vandalized, Hamish becomes concerned there is a connection to the death of a rich, dour woman who believes in fairies. There are suspects galore, and several of them are eliminated, permanently. This is a good addition to the Hamish Macbeth series, but I did find the ending a bit long and convoluted.
