Series: Hamish Macbeth
When

society widow and gossip columnist Lady Jane Winters joins the local

fishing class she wastes no time in ruffling the feathers - or should that

be fins? - of those around her.

Among the victims of her sharp

tongue is Lochdubh constable Hamish Macbeth, yet not even Hamish thinks

someone would seriously want to silence Lady Jane's shrill voice

permanently - until her strangled body is fished out of the river.

Now

with the help of the lovely Priscilla Halburton-Smythe, Hamish must

steer a course through the choppy waters of the tattler's life to find a

murderer. But with a school of suspects who aren't willing to talk, and

the dead woman telling no tales, Hamish may well be in over his head

for he knows that secrets are dangerous, knowledge is power, and killers

when cornered usually do strike again.

Reviews for Death of a Gossip: Hamish Macbeth #1

M C Beaton's Hamish Macbeth books are a delight: clever, intricate and sardonic. The flavour is reminiscent of Compton MacKenzie's WHISKY GALORE and I'm very glad to own a complete set. - Amazon The much-loved Hamish Macbeth series... a beguiling blend of wry humour and sharp observations of rural life. - Good Book Guide The detective novels of M C Beaton, a master of outrageous black comedy, have reached cult status. - The Times It's always a special treat to return to Lochdubh. - The New York Times
