"Pure bliss." Atlanta Journal & Constitution A Hamish Macbeth Mystery by the author of "Death of a Hussy." With a cold in his head and no place to go for Christmas, Hamish snaps up the invitation of drop-dead gorgeous Jane Wetherby to spend the holiday at her Scottish island health farm -- and figure out who is trying to kill her. When Hamish arrives on the island of Eileencraig, he finds threatening locals and fellow guests barely more civil, especially a terrible snob named Heather Todd. It seems like everyone on the island has a grudge against Jane. How to choose among so many suspects? But then one suspect is eliminated. Heather Todd is murdered. And suddenly Hamish's Christmas is looking very black indeed . . .

I didn't like Hamish at the beginning, he was a whiny jerk.
But he got more likeable as the story went on.
It was a decent mystery with a reasonable resolution but I don't think you could figure it out
until the characters explained it to you.
I read this because my mother-in-law is a fan and I thought I'd try it.
I don't read many mysteries but it was a quick pleasant read.
