Book description
Stabbed and stuffed in a closet...When police constable Hamish
Macbeth receives the news that there has been a murder at Arrat House,
home of the relentless practical joker Arthur Trent, he doesn't race
to the scene of the crime. After all, last time he was called to
investigate a death at the isolated Scottish manor, the 'victim'
turned out to be Trent's manservant covered in fake blood. Thus
prepared for another prank, Hamish arrives to find that Trent has been
most decidedly murdered and for suspects there is a houseful of greedy
relatives, all of whom are more than interested in the contents of the
will rather than the crime at hand. And when the Chief Inspector
arrives on the scene and his former flame, Priscilla Halburton-Smythe,
gets involved as well, Hamish quite clearly has his hands full.
