Death of a Policeman/M.C. Beaton/264 pages/2 December Challenges Met

Hamish Macbeth knows that his police station in his perfect little town of Lochdubh is in danger of being closed down. Detective Chief Inspector Blair would like nothing better than to get rid of Hamish who has a way of solving the murder cases that come his way and making Blair look foolish in the process. When the undercover policeman that Blair sends down to spy on Hamish gets murdered, Hamish first has to prove he didn't do it and then find who did. The trail leads back to a restaurant where both Blair and his boss, Superintendent Daviot dine regularly. Is there a connection? Meanwhile, Hamish's fellow police officer and housemate finds himself attracted to more than one lady but suffers nothing but heartbreak trying to catch one lady between engagements and another one before she leaves his life for good.

Another fine Beaton mystery.
