Death of a Green-Eyed Monster

No one in Lochdubh expects Dorothy to stay for long...

She is, after all, entirely unsuitable. She's an uptown girl, used to a fancy
lifestyle in the big city of Glasgow. She'll never fit in. And how is that
work-shy rogue Hamish Macbeth supposed to get anything done when his new
assistant is such a distraction? The village needs a police sergeant who can
get on with his job, not one who's constantly swooning over his pretty young
constable.

Yet PC Dorothy McIver quickly shows how determined she is to win over the
locals, and she certainly seems to bring out the best in Macbeth. Then comes a
brutal murder and the pair find themselves plunged into a tangled web of
conspiracy that acquires a sinister strand when the chilling shadow of
Glasgow's underworld creeps to the Highlands and the peaceful village of
Lochdubh.

Through it all, the bond between Hamish and Dorothy grows ever stronger. Has
Hamish Macbeth finally found the love of his life - and can he track down the
murderer before any hope he has for a blissful future is destroyed?

the usual village eccentrics, loads of Scottish lore, and the light humor that
Beaton fans have loved through the years. . . A definite purchase for all
mystery collections' Starred Review, Library Journal
