THE BRAND NEW MYSTERY IN THE BESTSELLING HAMISH MACBETH SERIES!

Love is in the air in Lochdubh! Love, and murder...

It's February, and Sergeant Hamish Macbeth's village in the Scottish Highlands has a surprise influx of vistors for a Valentine's Day wedding.

As the high-society guests settle into the snowbound Tommel Castle Hotel, Hamish is surprised to discover that they include not one, but two, women from his own romantic past!

And Hamish isn't the only one disrupted by the arrival of the wedding party. Tensions between the villagers and the guests escalate until, on the night of the wedding, the groom is found dead in the dining room - the cake-cutting sword plunged into his chest.

Hamish suddenly has a murder investigation on his hands, and one with a very long list of suspects.

With Lochdubh's rumour mill in overdrive, and with emotions and accusations running high, can Hamish keep a cool enough head to catch the killer?
