Death of a Celebrity (Hamish Macbeth Mysteries, No. 18)

Travel to the Scotland Highlands with this classic Hamish Macbeth cozy mystery from the author of the Agatha Raisin series.

Death of a Celebrity: A Hamish Macbeth Mystery

Murder on the Telly Lochdubh, a remote village reached only by a one-track lane, nestles serenely amid Scotland's hills...until well-known TV reporter Crystal French races into town in her bright BMW. And Constable Hamish Macbeth, dourly wed to duty instead of the fiancee who dumped him, promptly gives her a summons for reckless driving.

Outraged, Crystal makes Macbeth's life a misery with a TV report on policing in the Highlands. When she also rakes up old local scandals for her new hit show, Macbeth notes that someone besides himself might be dead keen to stop her. Then someone does-with stealth and violence. Now, finding out who did it will lead the laconic Macbeth down roads he never envisioned, into a dark story of passion and vengeance...and perhaps a crisis of the heart all his own.

Hamish is at it again. This time a tv crew is stirring up old gossip and hard feelings, until one of them gets killed. And as it turns out, nobody much liked the victim. Hamish is working to put together some spurious clues, but keeps getting foiled by his supervisors. Also, a local astrologist begins to play on his sentiments. A local dies, and another of the TV people is killed confusing the issue. But in the end, justice is served.
