But for PC Hamish Macbeth the murder is more than a disruption to idyllic village life - especially when the media arrive, trailing in their wake DCI Heather Meikle, a maneater with a taste for bachelor police constablesHamish must rekindle an old flame to escape her clutches and pull out all the stops to find the killer . . .
