She couldn t paint to save her life - so someone s given her a lesson by taking it!
Most newcomers don t stay long in remote Lochdubh - usually boredom, dampness and nosy locals drive them out. But it looks as if artist Effie Garrard has come to stay. When Hamish Macbeth calls on her he s amazed to find the woman in residence after a particularly harsh winter. Unfortunately, Effie is also quite delusional, having convinced herself that fellow local artist Jock Fleming is in love with her and that they are engaged. But after a lover s scrap with Jock, Effie is found dead, poisoned by hemlock.
Suicide or murder? It s up to Hamish to find out whether the dreamer s death is the result of something much more serious than a broken heart . . .
