Hamish MacBeth is a laid back policeman in a small Scottish village. He lives at the police station with his dog and cat, various other animals and his helper Dick Fraser. Hamish likes his “lazy” lifestyle and does what he can to keep it that way. There is one thing he would like to change - his marital status! He is pretty sure Dick is holding him back by living with him at the station. He needs to get Dick to move out!
Hamish and Dick receive a call from a woman about a break in. While investigating they discover that no crime happened and she is a pathological liar. A few days later, a couple new to the area are found murdered and the “liar” who called before also turns up dead.
Detective Chief Inspector Blair, Hamish’s nemesis, takes over the case and tries to keep Hamish out of the loop. Hamish is sure these two cases are related somehow and he continues to investigate. Along the way he meets two new women (possible relationship material) and keeps trying to think up ways to get rid of his housemate Dick. He eventually does solve the murders and Dick moves out but certainly not the way Hamish expected. An easy read that I enjoyed.
