See Scotland and Die. Constable Hamish Macbeth is feeling down: Against his will, he has to cover for a colleague, and it just so happens to be in the far-off Cnothan, the grumpiest village in Scotland. The only person the residents of Cnothan dislike even more than Hamish is a know-it-all Englishman. When his skeleton is found in the middle of the moor, Hamish suspects that he is in for quite an extraordinary case – and that it will be a while before he can return to his beloved village of Lochdubh. The third installment in the cult Hamish Macbeth crime series by bestselling author M. C. Beaton.
