Death of a Gentle Lady by M.C. Beaton

Everyone in Lochdubh loves Mrs. Margaret Gentle, except policeman Hamish Macbeth. However, Macbeth has agreed to marry her maid, Ayesha Izmir, so she can stay in the country after Mrs. Gentle throws her out and her visa has expired. Macbeth then has two murders to solve--Mrs. Gentle and Ayesha. Who would have wanted to murder them? Mrs. Gentle had recently said she was going to cut her nephew out of her will and the rest of her family disliked her. It also appears that Ayesha was not who she said she was. Macbeth juggles both cases while trying to keep his one man police station in the Highlands open. At the same time, he's pondering his love life and keeping his jealous co-worker Detective Chief Inspector Blair in check. Macbeth even has his own life put in danger. Regular fans of this longtime mystery series will not be disappointed.
