Lady Jane Winters' fellow vacationers can't stand her, but which one of them had sufficient reason for wanting her dead?
It was almost exactly a year ago that I first discovered M.C. Beaton. I don't have a particularly good excuse for why it's taken me a full year to read another Beaton book, this one Death of a Gossip. I've mentioned before (many times; thank you for indulging me) my love of Agatha Christie, and Beaton's books feel similar to me. There are lots of characters - in this case, the vacationers at and owners of a Scottish salmon fishing school - a consistent detective - Hamish Macbeth - and plenty of motives to go around. Death of a Gossip (and I'm getting the impression this holds true for pretty much all Beaton books) is a fun and quick read. Hopefully it won't take me a year before I rediscover this!
