It really doesn't have that much to offer apart from a place of rare beauty called Buchan's Wood, which the clued-up local tourist board director has rechristened 'The Fairy Glen' and has had brochures printed with a beautiful kingfisher rising from a lake on the cover.\n\nIt isn't long before coach tours begin to arrive but just as the town's luck starts to turn, a kingfisher is found hanging from a branch in the woods with a noose around its neck. As a wave of vandalism threatens to ruin Braikie forever it is up to Hamish to get involved... and his investigation quickly turns from mistreatment of birds to murder...\n\nPraise for M C Beaton's Hamish Macbeth series:\n\n'Once again M C Beaton has concocted an amusing brew of mystery and romance that will keep her fans turning the pages' Publishers Weekly\n\n'It's always a pleasure to return to Loch Dubh' - New York Times Book Review","brand":"Little, Brown Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40140449218645,"sku":"9781472124630N","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/34c0820a-e6b8-4637-98a8-38269be03891.jpg?v=1656427038","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/death-of-a-kingfisher-hamish-macbeth","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
