Death of a Gossip

When society widow and gossip columnist Lady Jane Winters joins the local fishing class, she wastes no time in ruffling the feathers—or should that be fins?—of those around her.

Among the victims of her sharp tongue is Lochdubh constable Hamish Macbeth. Yet not even Hamish thinks someone would seriously want to silence Lady Jane's shrill voice permanently—until her strangled body is fished out of the river.

Now, with the help of the lovely Priscilla Halburton-Smythe, Hamish must steer a course through the choppy waters of the tattler's life to find a murderer. But with a school of suspects who aren't willing to talk, and the dead woman telling no tales, Hamish may well be in over his head. For he knows that secrets are dangerous, knowledge is power, and killers, when cornered, usually do strike again.

Death of a Gossip is a thrilling mystery where danger lurks in the most unlikely of places, and nothing is as it seems.
