But from the very start, everything goes wrong: the vacation is spoiled by scandals and gossip, and a few days later, a murder occurs. The case is taken up by the village constable Hamish Macbeth— as the locals believe, a rare fool and an incurable lazybones. However, appearances are deceiving, and the constable’s sharp mind will handle the investigation easily, no matter how hard everyone tries to hinder him.
