Synopsis
More than ever, Constable Hamish Macbeth needs a change. His engagement to the lovely Priscilla Halburton-Smythe has ended. Priscilla, the daughter of a local hotelier, not only has left his life, she's left the village for a long visit to some old friends in Gloucestershire. Everyone blames Macbeth for the broken engagement and constantly express their disapproval. Hamish needs to get away from all this turmoil. So when he reads about a cheap bed and breakfast package at Skay on the coast near Moray Firth, he decides to take a real vacation. It's high season, but fortunately for Hamish, there's been a cancellation. The old Victorian villa isn't too posh, and the new proprietors, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Rogers, aren't very generous with their offerings. Some of the other guests have other things on their minds besides relaxing. Miss Gunnery has taken an uncomfortable interest in Hamish. The two young, modishly dressed secretaries should have gone to a place with discos. And Bob Harris's constant, loud, obnoxious tirades against his wife put everyone on edge. Then anger turns to murder and Hamish finds himself in the position of being a chief suspect. Unless Hamish finds the murderer quickly, his vacation at the increasingly hellish B&B will last a lot longer than he planned.
