From the back cover:
"Amazing news has spread across the Scottish countryside. The most famous of highland bachelors, police sergeant Hamish Macbeth, will be married at last. Everyone in the village of Lockdubh adores Josie McSween, Macbeth's newest constable and blushing bride-to-be.
While the locals think Josie is quite a catch, Hamish has a case of prenuptial jitters. After all, if it weren;t for the recent murder of a beautiful woman in a neighboring village, there wouldn't be a wedding at all. For it was a mysterious Valentine's Day package -- delivered to th victim before her death -- that initially drew Hamish and Josie together on the investigation. As they work side by side, Hamish and Josie soon discover that the woman's list of admirers was endless, confirming Hamish's suspicion that love can be blind, deaf . . . and deadly."
I enjooyed the murder investigation part of the novel quite a bit. Hamish is a good detective who just wants to do his job and avoid promotions. The mystery is interesting without the solution being too obscure. The characters of his village are humorous as they matchmake and gossip. However, the thing between Josie and Hamish was incredibly annoying. I can't say too much without giving away the ending, but this was not my favorite Hamish book, although I did enjoy listening to the story in a Scottish brogue. Rating: 3
