Story
=====

From Publishers Weekly
In his 14th bracing appearance, Scottish Highland police constable Hamish 
Macbeth (Death of a Dentist, 1997, etc.) investigates crimes visited 
upon those who tinker too much with a mystery series. Anxious to be 
back in print, elderly mystery writer Patricia Martyn-Broyd signs an 
options contract that cavalierly gives a television company all rights 
to her books. Poor Patricia should have read the small print. Her aristocratic 
heroine and staid story line are soon transformed into a wild 1960s 
romp, featuring buxom blonde actress Penelope Gates. Patricia is mad 
enough to murder the scriptwriter, Jamie Gallagher. She isn't alone. 
Penelope's jealous, often inebriated husband, Josh, is tired of his 
wife's clothes coming off in every part she plays. Jamie, Josh and Penelope 
all die in quick succession during location filming in the weird Scottish 
village of Drim, which is a mere stone's throw from lanky, laconic Hamish's 
hometown of Lochdubh. A good man cursed with a blustery, jealous superior 
and poor judgment in affairs of the heart, Hamish has a motley crew 
of actors and producers for suspects, in addition to the snooty yet 
vulnerable Patricia. There's a little less of Hamish himself this time 
out, and his romantic misfires feel cursory, but the environs are brooding 
and Beaton's affectionate wit remains dry and delightful.
