Death of a Chimney Sweep/M.C. Beaton/245 pages

Hamish Macbeth is a Scottish Police Constable in the highland village of Lochdubh. He's known for being unambitious and lazy but also sharp and persistent. The death of a newcomer in his district and of the chimney sweep first suspected of the murder are just the beginning of a tangled web of murders. Although many murders are committed, few are brought to traditional justice. But, in the end, you could say that everyone gets what they deserve. Hamish does cross the line once too often saving something near and dear to him, but he deals with potential blackmailers for now.

A "cozy mystery" series that makes me want to visit Scotland.
