Description
When society widow and gossip columnist Lady Jane Winters joined the fishing class, she wasted no time in ruffling the feathers--or was it the fins?--of those around her. Among the victims of her sharp tongue and unladylike manner was Lochdubh Constable Hamish Macbeth. Yet not even Hamish thought someone would permanently silence Lady Jane's shrills--until her strangled body is fished out of the river.
Now with the help of the lovely Priscilla Halburton-Smythe, Hamish must angle through the choppy waters of the tattler's life to find the murderer. But with a school of suspects who aren't ready to talk and dead women telling no tales, Hamish may be in over his head, for he knows that secrets are dangerous, knowledge is power, and killers usually do strike again.

Considering I have never actually watched Hamish MacBeth ever, I walked into this with a very open mind. I love MC Beaton and her Agatha Raisin series and this I liked too. It was funny, original, a proper who done it without a whole rig-ma-role that you need to get through 400 for. Hamish in my head is very different looking from Robert Carlyle so I think I will stick to the books rather than the series. I totally recommend if you love MC Beatons Agatha Raisin, or just like an easy who don it. Well worth a read.
