While on a much-needed respite with her husband Sam in Nottinghamshire, undertaker Violet Harper is summoned to Welbeck Abbey by the Fifth Duke of Portland to prepare a body. His Grace is known as the "mad duke", and Violet has more than an inkling of why when she arrives at the grand estate and discovers that the corpse in question is that of the duke's favorite raven, Aristotle.

The narrator was sub par.

The story was ridiculous, based on a historical conjecture about ravens ache Tower of London. The heroine/main character was very hard to believe that she was allowed that date & time in Great Britain to even be a coroner let alone would have agreed to be kept at a Lir's mansion without her husband. The Kord himself was very hard to believe was that eccentric & malicious to his staff of towers.

When the Catriona Beldame is found murdered and her home set ablaze, Hamish Macbeth must clear his own name and then work to solve yet another murder to bring peace and quiet back to his beloved village. His investigations are complicated by a romance with a female forensic expert. Perhaps the Scotish Highlands' most stubborn bachelor will get married at last!

Superb as always! I am a mystery reader from a young age. Started with Agatha Christie. I must say that Hamish Macbeth is currently my favorite character of all time!
