The Case the Highlands Tried to Forget | A Hamish Macbeth Mystery

Описание: In the quiet, heather-cloaked hills of Lochdubh, some secrets are meant to stay buried under the Highland peat. For Sergeant Hamish Macbeth, life usually revolves around avoiding the watchful eye of DCI Blair and perhaps a bit of unauthorized salmon poaching. But the arrival of Julian Vane, a self-important "lifestyle consultant" from London, stirs up more than just village gossip. When Vane’s attempt to turn an old croft into an "Exclusive Mindfulness Retreat" unearths evidence of a decades-old crime, the Highlands are forced to remember what they desperately tried to forget.

What begins as a clash of cultures between a local lawman and a wealthy outsider quickly turns into a chilling tale of long-buried secrets and a killer’s cold, calculated vengeance. When the past begins to bleed into the present, the local authorities are quick to call it a series of unfortunate accidents.

But Hamish Macbeth, with his keen understanding of human nature and his sharp intuition for the dark currents beneath village life, senses a far more sinister truth. As he pieces together clues amidst the peat smoke and the whispered suspicions at the local pub, he uncovers a web of betrayal, greed, and a grief that has festered into something deadly. The rugged, peaceful façade of the glen cracks to reveal a plot of impeccable timing and ruthless intent.

Just when you think you've deduced the culprit among the secretive locals and the ambitious newcomers, Hamish unveils a connection so shocking it redefines the very meaning of the case. Prepare for a classic whodunit where the greatest presents are lies, and the only thing colder than the winter air over the moors is a murderer’s heart.
