The book that launched the series and its central character, the no nonsense at work but ever frustrated in love PC Hamish Macbeth. A sharp-tongued socialite is found strangled and only with the help of Tatler'sWho's Who and the lovely Priscila Halburton-Smythe will he solve the case. A warning though. These brilliantly written, easy to read, cosy, crime novels are pretty addictive. Luckily there are now nearly 30 in the series.

From a "master of outrageous black comedy," a cozy whodunnit mystery in which a meddling gossip columnist meets an untimely watery death (The Times Magazine).
Constable Hamish Macbeth is one of several victims of Lady Jane Winters's searing gossip column. Yet not even Hamish thought someone would permanently silence her-until her body is fished out of the river.
Now with the help of the lovely Priscilla Halburton-Smythe, Hamish must find the murderer-but is he in over his head? Secrets are dangerous…and killers usually strike again.
