Synopsis

From a New York Times bestselling author, Sergeant Hamish Macbeth faces a string of mysterious robberies that are only the beginning of an international threat to his sleepy Scottish village of Lochdubh.

Sergeant Hamish Macbeth is worried about how the folks will react to his new assistant officer; the enigmatic American James Bland, whose true mission is to track down the members of a Russian spy network. In the meantime, he and Bland deal with it the usual crop of traffic incidents, lost wallets, lost dogs, and lost people, but a spate of burglaries committed by a man dubbed “Spiderman” give Hamish cause for serious concern.

Hamish has to use all of his contacts and every ounce of his Highland guile to find the robber and protect the village.

I know that Elspeth is supposed to be in love with the city life and blah blah blah, and that we seem to be supposed to root for Claire now, but no.

Goodreads review by Linda C Martin on March 13, 2024

Where's Hamish? Unfortunately this book doesn't measure up to the rest of the Hamish Macbeth books. The plot, if you can call it one, didn't make sense. I couldn't figure out what the spy ring was about and why "Bland" was involved. Suddenly the story just came to an end. I am very disappointed with......more
