Death of a Bore: Hamish Macbeth, Book 20 (Unabridged‪)‬

Not bored to death but murder most foul...

Celebrated author John Heppel is known in Lochdubh as a self-important bore, prone to belittling the scribblings of the locals in his creative writing class. So when he's found dead, his mouth oozing ink, it seems a fitting fate. But for PC Hamish Macbeth, the murder is more than a disruption of idyllic village life - especially when the media arrive, trailing in their wake DCI Heather Meikle, a maneater with a taste for bachelor police constables.

Hamish must rekindle an old flame to escape her clutches and pull out all the stops to find the killer.
