Death of a Prankster
MC Beaton
Andrew
Trent has invited his family to his Scottish Estate for an important
announcement. Most if not all the members of the family can't stand
Andrew Trent. Mr. Trent is the type of joker who most people would
detest, with petty tricks designed to make the victim feel foolish or
annoyed. Nevertheless, the family turns up because he's told them
he's at death's door. Of course, they all want to know if they will
inherit some or all of his vast fortune. If not for the hint of money
there would be no reason for any of them to attend this dreaded
gathering.
Upon arrival it becomes clear the Trent may not be on death's door, after all, it was just one of his pranks, used to entice them to Arrat House. But, the joke may be on Trent this time, when his body is discovered in a wardrobe in a guest bedroom. The twisted turn of events means Hamish Macbeth will have to search high and low to find out who wanted Mr. Trent dead.
As usual, M.C. Beaton has created a fun and entertaining drama. Hamish Macbeth, the officer responsible for the village of Lochdubh, with the help of his friend Priscilla will do all he can to find the answer to this puzzle before the police from Strathbane can take all the credit.
