About this ebook
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Agatha Raisin television series, travel to the Scotland Highlands with a classic Hamish Macbeth cozy mystery.
Amazing news has spread across the Scottish countryside. The most famous of highland bachelors, police sergeant Hamish Macbeth, will be married at last. Everyone in the village of Lochdubh adores Josie McSween, Macbeth's newest constable and blushing bride-to-be.
While locals think Josie is quite a catch, Hamish has a case of prenuptial jitters. After all, if it weren't for the recent murder of a beautiful woman in a neighbouring village, there wouldn't be a wedding at all. For it was a mysterious Valentine's Day package—delivered to the victim before her death—that initially drew Hamish and Josie together on the investigation.
As they work side by side, Hamish and Josie soon discover that the woman's list of admirers was endless, confirming Hamish's suspicion that love can be blind, deaf ... and deadly.

A convulated, crazy maze of a story. Hamish is as infuriatingly likeable as ever. Well worth reading it all in one sitting. Which I did till from 10 at night till 4 40 a.m. Couldna' put 'er down!

If ever there was a reason to dislike someone, it's Josie McSween. Hamish should be thankful for his friends, because sometimes he doesn't have sense. Good read for Valentine's Day, though. Definitely didn't see the culprit coming!
