In Death
of a Maid by M.C. Beaton, Hamish MacBeth's life becomes a
misery when he 'wins' Mrs. Gillespie's maid services in a church
raffle-she who is more likely to snoop than clean, and damage more
items than she dusts. Then his former girlfriend, reporter Elspeth
Grant, is back in the village for a holiday with her new boyfriend.
And he gets notice that a TV crew plans a documentary on him, which is
sure to get him a promotion and transfer to the city--and Hamish
Macbeth would rather be boiled in oil than leave the serenity of
Lochdubh. When Mrs. Gillespie is found dead under suspicious
circumstances, Macbeth investigates.
