In this episode, we are introduced to a non-Priscilla love interest for Hamish who is not ultimately the murderer and is apparently going to last longer than one book. It's a highland miracle. Oh yeah and Hamish solves two murders.

Crap! I've already forgotten the plot. This is another of those stories of constable Hamish Macbeth, who is the local cop in a small town in the Scottish Highlands. Someone gets murdered, I think a diva TV personality, and Hamish has to figure out who dunnit. Along the way, he manages to get a local journalist enamored with him, but he's still hung up on his one-time fiancée, and hardly notices her come-hither hints (actually, I could identify with such behavior, but my spouse saved me).

Anyway, even though I don't remember a lot of the book, it really was very engaging. My spouse insisted I read my first Hamish Macbeth book. I've now read two more on my own volition, and plan to read more.
