This is the 17th of the Hamish Macbeth series in the Scottish Highlands.

I didn't like the previous 4 books and was ready to ditch my lovable Hamish but Beaton managed to salvage his flirtatious rear-end and resurrected his "sort of" love for Priscilla, who has been absent for the last 4 books. Dustman is a good one. I'll stay with Beaton till the end, Hamish's or mine.
