I just uploaded Death Of A Perfect Wife by M.C. Beaton to the admin
queue. Thanks to the advice over the weekend, I think I have
protected the chapter headings correctly this time. (smile) Here's
what the book is about.
The weather turns blustery the day Mr. and Mrs. Thomas move into the
sleepy Scottish Highlands village of Lochdubh, and other changes soon
follow. Unemployed and English, the Thomases already have two strikes
against them: The villagers have never liked newcomers. Only lonely
Angela Brodie, the doctor's wife, welcomes the attentions of Trixie Thomas.
Trixie, a model of domestic efficiency, turns Angela's life
around--organizing her house, teaching her to cook nourishing
vegetarian meals (much to the dismay of Dr. Brodie), even helping her
perm her hair. Trixie soon takes the rest of the village in hand, as
well, with her Anti-Smoking League, her new birdwatching society, and
her general interference with the gentle, lazy rhythm of life in Lochdubh.
Hamish Macbeth, the canny village police constable, doesn't let his
own confusion over his feelings for lovely Priscilla Halburton-Smythe
cloud his perception of the villagers' growing resentment of the
perfect housewife. And when resentment explodes into murder, the
local reactions range from shock to secret satisfaction.
The trouble for Hamish may be in finding someone who didn't wish
Trixie dead and gone, in this latest outing for the policeman Kirkus
has rightfully hailed as a "gem."
