“A fun traditional country house mystery!” –Booklist
“The delightfully stubborn and opinionated hero solves the case and may even find a bride of his own.” –Kirkus
It’s February and the Scottish Highlands village of Lochdubh is dealing with heavy snow and freezing temperatures.
Sergeant Hamish Macbeth can handle the weather, but with a surprise influx of high-society visitors for a Valentine’s Day wedding at Tommel Castle Hotel, he has bigger problems. The guest list includes TWO women from his own romantic past!
And Hamish isn’t the only one disrupted by the arrival of the wedding party. The groom – the supposedly suave and sophisticated Darius Palmerston – is involved in a series of incidents in the local pub. Tensions between guests and villagers escalate until, on the night of the wedding, Darius is found dead in the dining room – the cake-cutting sword plunged into his chest.
Hamish suddenly has a murder investigation with a very long list of suspects on his hands. With Lochdubh’s rumor mill in overdrive, can he keep a cool enough head to catch the killer?
