Publisher's Summary
When society widow and gossip columnist Lady Jane Winters joins the local fishing class she wastes no time in ruffling feathers 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.
M. C. Beaton is the author of the best-selling Agatha Raisin series. She has also written several Regency romance series. She lives between Paris and the Cotswolds.

A blast from the past
This is one in a series that I have found to be very light, easy to listen to and really a joy. Not for those who are looking for hard edge crime, but if you are looking for something tobfill a Sunday afternoon you will really enjoy this series

Does not disappoint
I have been a fan of Agatha Raisin for a while now slowing listening to each book. Penelope is fabulous in her narration and all the characters are developing more with each book. Greatly enjoy them and this book is the same. Great for a long road ahead, the miles disappear as the story evolves.
