Synopsis

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 neighboring 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.

But now I......more

Goodreads review by Madelle

I have read the entire series and keep coming back for each new novel. Will Hamish ever marry Pricilla? Or will he finally get over her and find true love? That romantic subplot is a roller coaster threading through the series. Meanwhile the continuing characters are wonderful. In this book Hamish do......more

Goodreads review by ~☆~Autumn NOT RECEIVING NOTIFICATIONS)

This is funny but also very sad as it is about an alcoholic and a liar. It was hard to believe the things that she stooped to but then I have known girls who would do anything to get married and Josie is among them. I guess M. C. Beaton knew them also. Poor Hamish as he barely escapes marriage to an......more
