Narrated by Graeme Malcolm.
Amazing news has spread across the Scottish countryside. The most famous of highland bachelors, police sergeant Hamish Macbeth, may actually marry at last. The entire village of Lochdubh adores Macbeth's bride-to-be. Josie McSween is Hamish's new constable, and she is a pretty little thing, with glossy brown hair and big brown eyes. The local folk think that Josie is quite a catch, but Hamish couldn't be more miserable. The wedding wouldn't be happening if it weren't for the murder of a beautiful woman in a nearby village. After the gorgeous woman receives a deadly Valentine's Day gift, Hamish and Josie take on the case. However, they soon discover that the list of the victim's admirers is endless. The case confirms Hamish's belief that love is extremely dangerous, but he still can't avoid the events that lead up to his celebrated engagement.

Josie, one of the main characters in this book, was completely unrealistic. Sometimes I wonder if M.C.Beaton is like Carolyn Keene, a collection of authors using this pseudonym, and one of those ghost writers likes to write wacko women. Or maybe every now and then she reverts to her writing origins in romance novels. Whatever. Like i said, Josie is completely unrealistic and despicable. Are there really women so desperate to get married that they come up with (and act on!) schemes to drug men? Especially when the target isn't even interested in them?
Unless you're a completist and can't live with yourself if you skip a book in a series, skip this one.
