Sinossi
Hamish Macbeth riceve la notizia che c’è stato un omicidio ad Arrat House, in cui vive il ricchissimo Arthur Trent ma, sebbene sia un poliziotto, non si scapicolla per raggiungere la (presunta) scena del crimine. Trent infatti è famoso – e famigerato – per i suoi scherzi, anche di pessimo gusto, e Hamish ne sa qualcosa, dato che, tempo prima, era stato chiamato proprio ad Arrat House per indagare su un delitto, scoprendo poi che la “vittima” era il maggiordomo di Trent coperto di sangue finto. Stavolta, però, la vittima c’è ed è proprio l’incorreggibile burlone Arthur Trent. In più, la casa si è già riempita di parenti non troppo in lutto e molto in attesa dell’apertura del testamento. Possibile che il colpevole sia tra loro?

Life in Hamish's world is simple. He likes an easy job that includes lots of time for fishing and naps. If only people would quit killing each other. In this book our intrepid constable is called to the house of a notorious prankster. Everyone hates him, but who hates him enough to kill him. Hamish
Sometimes I wonder why I love these books so much. With this one in particular the writing really just isn’t great and I couldn’t wait to be done with it. I think the series is carried by character and setting, like a mediocre television mystery series you watch religiously even though the mystery p Leggi tutto
Another Hamish Macbeth mystery. Andrew Trent, a rich elderly man, summons his family members to his mansion because he is deathly ill. His family despises him because he is a vicious prankster who takes practical jokes way beyond anything that could imaginably appropriate. However, he's also rich and Leggi tutto
Enjoyable cosy mystery set in the Scottish Highlands. No.7 in the Hamish Macbeth series. Brilliant narration (as always) by Davina Porter
