The Crooked Whistle | A Hamish Macbeth Mystery
Lochdubh gathers for its annual Highland Games, where bunting snaps in the wind, tea steams in the committee tent, and every small disagreement is dressed up as “community spirit.” But before the first race can properly begin, a visiting sponsorship broker is found dead at the base of the announcer’s stand.
As gossip spreads faster than the mist over the shinty field, Hamish Macbeth must look past loud tempers, public grudges, and village pride to uncover what really happened. With a cracked starter’s whistle, missing raffle money, and secrets hidden beneath the cheerful rituals of the Games, The Crooked Whistle is a warm, wry Highland mystery filled with local color, quiet suspense, and the dangerous side of respectability.
In Lochdubh, even a day of sport can turn sharp.
