Sergeant Hamish Macbeth – Scotland's most quick witted but unambitious policeman – is back to investigate the disappearance of a woman who is more than she seems in this new mystery in M.C. Beaton's beloved New York Times bestselling series.
Kate Hibbert is all too eager to lend a hand to her neighbours. Although she has been a resident of the sleepy village of Lochdubh for only a year, in that time Kate has alienated one too many of its residents with her interfering – and not entirely well-intentioned – ways. When Kate’s neighbour sees her lugging a heavy suitcase to the bus stop, he hopes that the prying woman is leaving for good. But two weeks later, Kate’s cousin arrives in town with the news that Kate has gone missing – and she demands that the local police step in.
Sergeant Hamish Macbeth is called in to investigate the disappearance, and soon he is befuddled by a storm of lies, intrigue and scandal ... and the sneaking suspicion that Kate was someone much more sinister than she claimed. Torn between loyalty to Lochdubh and his job, Hamish begins threading his way through a maze of deceit, quickly finding himself on the trail of a ruthless, treacherous murderer. If he catches the killer, peace can return to the village. If he fails, he will lose everything – his job, his home and the life he so loves in Lochdubh.
