Roddeljournaliste Lady Jane Winters neemt geen blad voor de mond en dat komt haar duur te staan! Met haar vlijmscherpe opmerkingen maakt ze zich niet geliefd onder haar medecursisten tijdens een cursus vliegvissen. Maar wanneer op een dag haar levenloze lichaam uit het water gevist wordt, staat dorpsagent Hamish Macbeth voor een groot raadsel. Wie haatte haar zó erg, dat ze vermoord moest worden? ‘De dood van een roddeltante’ is een komische misdaadroman en het eerste deel in de bekende Hamish Macbeth-reeks van M.C. Beaton. De reeks is zo geliefd, dat het verfilmd is tot een populaire BBC tv-serie. M.C. Beaton is een van de pseudoniemen waaronder Marion Chesney (1936 - 2019) voornamelijk detective romans schreef. Tijdens haar carrière schreef ze meer dan honderd boeken, inclusief de uitermate populaire detective series over de Schotse agent Hamish Macbeth en voormalig public relations-specialist Agatha Raisin. Beide reeksen bestaan uit meer dan twintig delen en beiden zijn verfilmd tot tv-series. De fijne dosis Britse humor maken haar romans tot unieke en gezellige verhalen die je met moeite naast je neer kunt leggen.

A missing person report is not usually something that Hamish Macbeth sees as cause for undue distress.Should a child or a vulnerable person vanish, it's an urgent matter that needs to be treated seriously, but in Macbeth's experience, most other people who go missing tend to turn up again before long. So when Kate Hibbert disappears after having last been seen struggling along the road with a heavy suitcase, he is convinced she has gone travelling and reluctantly goes through the motions of investigating.Interviewing those who were closest to her, Macbeth is perplexed by their apparent lack of concern but sees no reason to suspect foul play. When Hibbert does eventually resurface, however, a storm of lies, intrigue and scandal threatens Macbeth's tranquil village of Lochdubh.Torn between loyalty to his local community and his responsibilities as a police officer, he begins threading his way through a maze of deceit, quickly finding himself on the trail of a ruthless, treacherous murderer. If he catches the killer, peace can return to the village. If he fails, he will lose everything - his job, his home and the life he so loves in Lochdubh.Praise of Death of a Green-Eyed Monster:'This Hamish Macbeth novel maintains Beaton's distinctive voice and includes the usual village eccentrics, loads of Scottish lore, and the light humor that Beaton fans have loved through the years. . . A definite purchase for all mystery collections' Starred Review, Library Journal'Unmissable!'
