When society widow and gossip columnist Lady Jane Winters joined the fishing class, she wasted no time in ruffling the feathers - or was it the fins? - of those around her. Among the victims of her sharp tongue and unladylike manner was Lochdubh Constable Hamish Macbeth. Yet not even Hamish thought someone would permanently silence Lady Jane's shrills - until her strangled body is fished out of the river. Now, with the help of the lovely Priscilla Halburton-Smythe, Hamish must angle through the choppy waters of the tattler's life to find the murderer. But with a school of suspects who aren't ready to talk and dead women telling no tales, Hamish may be in over his head, for he knows that secrets are dangerous, knowledge is power, and killers usually do strike again. Includes the bonus story "Knock, Knock You're Dead".

If you have seen the television series, this first novel sets-up the characters, with the exception of Macbeth in different roles, with different names, but the characterizations, as portrayed by the television show are sufficiently close enough to make it quite easy to figure out who is who. Furthermore, the basic premise remains exactly the same. Hamish is a loveable lawman, in the extremely laidback town of Lochdubh. The mystery is sufficiently compelling.
If you are looking for an exact replica of the dramatization for television, this book will disappoint you, but it you are willing to adapt and want to enjoy a quick story that captivates you to go on to the next book, Death of a Gossip is definitely worth your time!
Easy Listening At Its Best!

Priscilla is a big help in many ways - I do hope he can eventually see her for the perfect partner in all ways (or she may have to fight me off!).
Delightful!
