A Body in the Old Village Inn | A Hamish Macbeth Mystery

Описание: In the cozy, fire-lit surroundings of the Old Village Inn, the weary travelers and locals usually find nothing but warmth and a strong dram of whisky. But for Sergeant Hamish Macbeth, a routine call to settle a minor disturbance unveils a chilling discovery: a guest found dead in the most locked of rooms. What appears to be a natural passing in the quiet hours of the night quickly reveals a tale of long-buried secrets and a killer’s cold, calculated vengeance.

While the higher-ups from Strathbane are quick to dismiss the incident as a tragic accident, Hamish Macbeth—with his keen understanding of human nature and his sharp intuition for the dark currents beneath the peaceful façade of Lochdubh—senses a far more sinister truth. As he pieces together clues amidst the peat smoke and the whispered suspicions of the regulars at the bar, he uncovers a web of betrayal, greed, and a grief that has festered into something deadly.

Just when you think you've deduced the culprit among the secretive guests and eccentric locals, Hamish unveils a connection so shocking it redefines the very meaning of the case. Prepare for a classic whodunit where the greatest comforts hide the darkest lies, and the only thing colder than the Highland winter air is a murderer’s heart.
