Hamish Macbeth, the laid-back constable of Lochdubh,
Scotland, has a new Land Rover to drive and a Highland
summer to savor, but as fast as rain rolls in from the loch,
his happy life goes to hell in a handbasket. The trouble
begins when his beloved Priscilla Halburton-Smythe returns
from London . . . with a fiancé on her arm. His miseries
multiply when clouds of midges (the diabolical Scottish
mosquito) descend on the town. Then a paragon of housewifery
named Trixie Thomas moves into Lochdubh with her lapdog
husband in tow. The newcomer quickly convinces the local
ladies to embrace low-cholesterol meals, ban tobacco, and
begin bird-watching. Soon the town's fish-and-chips-loving
men are up in arms. Now faced with the trials of his own
soul, Macbeth must solve Lochdubh's newest crime-the
mysterious poisoning of the perfect wife.
