Death of a Kingfisher/M.C. Beaton/245 pages

Hamish Macbeth has a new deputy to help out in his small police station in the Highland village of Lochdubh. He's always resisted help before, but Dick seems nice enough and is just waiting to retire. He turns out to be helpful when a series of bizarre accidents leading to multiple murders plague The Fairy Glen in nearby Braikie. The Fairy Glen is a new tourist attraction in Buchan's Wood. The tourist director is a bewitching woman who claims to have Second Sight and who may have set her sights on Hamish.

One thing that I enjoy about the last couple in this series is that the case isn't wrapped up in a week. It takes months of running down dead ends before justice is served, and justice isn't always serviced in a standard way. Nice little cozy series.
