Hamish Macbeth, constable in the remote Scottish highlands village of Lochdubh, loves his job amongst his mostly happy neighborsтАФuntil murder taints the town.
Mrs. Gillespie is famous for being the best maid in the northwest of Sutherland. But to Hamish Macbeth, she is a malicious gossip who bangs around the furniture and clanks pots. When Hamish wins Mrs. GillespieтАЩs services in a church raffle, he spends most of the day trying to avoid her. He doesnтАЩt understand how she managed to gain such a fine reputation.
Then she is found dead, struck down violently by a metal bucket of water. Knowing Mrs. GillespieтАЩs penchant for gossip, Hamish is sure she delighted in finding out her clientsтАЩ secretsтАФwhich means that everyone whose home she cleaned is a suspect.
