Death of a maid

Well what I remember throughout the whole story it was incredible. The title of the book is called Death of a maid. Hamish Macbeth is the main character of this story. He is a criminal investigator and an F.B.I Agent throughout this whole story. He has a cat named Sonsie. Well, this all crazy disaster had happen in a city called Lochdubh, Scotland. He got a case that a woman named Mrs. Gillespie had died and later, this other woman died named Shona Frasier. Hamish Macbeth wins Mrs. Gillespie’s services in a church raffle. He and his crew have to help and investigate .Mrs. Gillespie was a maid. Everyone who wanted to hired a maid didn't wanted to hired Mrs. Gillespie because they heard a lot of rumors about that she is most likely to look into people's stuff and be a little nosy. She has made a lot of damages into people's stuff than she clearly dusts. While all this disaster happens, he has other things to do. He is always thinking about his former girlfriend, Elspeth Grant. Elspeth is now back in the village for a holiday celebration with her new boyfriend, Luke, and Hamish is a little jealous when he sees them together. Every time Elspeth and her new boyfriend are together in a place, he remembers when he and Elspeth were right there and doing the same usual stuff. Day and days have passed by and he noticed that a television crew plans to do a documentary on Hamish. Well, right now, Hamish Macbeth must really worried a lot is that he needs to investigate this case before this killer on the loose goes on and kills more. Actually, Mrs. Gillespie has another job then being a maid and that is to be a blackmailer. Many people did not know about the idea of her being a blackmailer. The idea of becoming a blackmailer had led to her to a lot of trouble. When Mrs. Gillespie died, no one seemed to care and missed her so much, but Hamish is really focusing in the issue and also about his former girlfriend. Even when Mrs. Gillespie was alive, no one seems to talk to her and visit her every time. So far, Hamish and his crew found out that the victim was beaten to death with her pail that she is always carrying around to clean. As the investigator, Hamish Macbeth starts to get all the clues, he thinks deeply on his former girlfriend. Hamish Macbeth and his crew ask a lot of questions to the people that mostly know a lot about Mrs. Gillespie. Well, thank god that Hamish Macbeth help everyone from the blackmailer and the maid otherwise everyone probably everyone in the city can get killed. The results was that a lady named Crystal Barret Wilkinson is the responsible for the deaths of Mrs. Gillespie and Shona Frasier. She also shot Hamish Macbeth in the chest but, good luck that he had a bulletproof vest. Crystal kicked Hamish's body really hard with her food. Since she knew that Hamish was an F.B.I agent, she thought that he can call his crew and kill her or put her in jail. Mrs. Gillespie recognized Crystal from the television program and blackmailed Crystal. Crystal was acting dumb so no one knew about her blackmailing Mrs. Gillespie. Hamish thought Crystal tried to run her down, but that didn't work so Crystal followed Mrs. Gillespie to the Moy Hall to the clay pigeon nad then Crystal saw her and shoot her and killed her. Later on, you took her body and dump it somewhere where nobody visits a lot. When Hamish Macbeth was shot, Crystal was running far but, then Hamish chased her and knocked her out. He took of his bulletproof vest and was alive. Hamish Macbeth lives in in London. Hamish met a woman named Gloria Price. The started talking to each other and they went together to a restaurant and ate. Once they finished eating, they started to chat even more and Gloria noticed that Hamish did not had any wedding ring. He tells her that he only had girlfriends and every time it is break ups and break ups. Well, at the end he goes out with Gloria Price but, he doesn't know if he is going to marry her because he doesn't know if she is the right choice.
