Award-winning novelist and soap-opera scriptwriter John Heppel's writing class, given in the Lochdubh village hall, has not been terribly successful. Although he initially attracted several aspiring writers to the class, it's soon obvious that Heppel is a dull egomaniac and a savage critic of his students' work. When Heppel is murdered, suspicion immediately falls on his writing students, but Police Constable Hamish Macbeth is unwilling to believe any of his fellow villagers are guilty, and wonders if the culprit may actually lie elsewhere. This is the 20th cozy mystery in a series that inspired a British television series, HAMISH MACBETH. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
