I really am enjoying listening to the audios of this series. The reader, Davina Porter, I believe, has a fantastic accent and does the voices. This was great to listen to during the fall, too. Something about a little murder mystery while the leaves are falling and Halloween is creeping up just evokes a real seasonal spirit.
In the Highlands, Hamish's beat includes a little town called Drim. It is a dreary and quiet place usually but the arrival of a charming, handsome young man, Peter, stirs up the ladies of the village. Soon, they are getting perms, dying their hair, wearing heels and make up, and even taking aerobics classes. However, when Peter leaves suddenly and mysteriously, Hamish cannot fight off the feeling that the man was murdered. What follows is a lot of Hamish poking about where he shouldn't in his typical manner.
I don't want to ruin anything for you if you are reading this series but Hamish and Priscilla's engagement was one of my main interests in this book. Priscilla seems suddenly not as friendly and then she pulls some amazing stunts to save Hamish's butt and you end up thinking she is awesome. At the end though *spoiler* I couldn't help but think that Priscilla is not a great lasy simply because she always tries to change Hamish. I feel for Hamish, you know. I never plan on leaving my small town. I am not very ambitious. It is more important for me to have a home life and be happy than to work my arse off for some good paying position and have a heart attack before I get to enjoy it. I'm just not sure about that woman...
