Death of an Outsider (A Hamish Macbeth Mystery, 3)

From a "master of outrageous black comedy," a cozy whodunnit mystery in which the exiled Hamish Macbeth must solve a murder that smells more than little bit fishy (The Times Magazine).

The most hated man in Scotland is sleeping with the fishes--literally dumped into a tank filled with crustaceans. All that remain of the murder victim are his bones.

Hamish Macbeth sorely misses his beloved Lochdubh. But wherever Hamish goes, he's bound to find a new case to solve. He'll have to contend with a difficult detective chief inspector, a dark-haired lass who's trying to seduce him, and a killer who will no doubt strike again . . .

Hamish is a delight. His sometimes bumbling ways belie an intelligence and thoughtfulness that are inspiring. In this mystery he is assigned to a new town and investigates the death of a particularly obnoxious outsider whose corpse is cleaned to the bones by lobsters. Who knew that was possible!
