There's not a cloud in Constable Hamish Macbeth's sky, just plenty of warm sunshine and not quite enough of beautiful Priscilla Halburton-Smythe. But as eight hopeful members of the Checkmate Singles Club converge on Tommel Castle Hotel for a week of serious matchmaking, the clouds roll in. The four couples, carefully matched by dating director Maria Worth, immediately dislike each other. The arrival of Maria's gross, greedy partner, Peta, kills the last vestige of romance. And as love goes out the window, murder comes in the door. Peta soon slurps up her last meal, and Hamish is left with a baffling puzzle: Who shared the fateful outing that left Peta dead with a big red apple in her mouth? Surely not of those singles...

Too many guests at the hotel and not enough villagers for my taste.

On its way to Marita in Germany. Have a nice time !

Marita sent me this book. She really enjoyed it!
Thank you from her for your generosity!

What a great story! I love the Hamish Macbeth books!

This book goes to chamonix44.
Enjoy!

Thank you for this book motherof11. I know I will love reading it, as I have loved all the other books in this series that I have been lucky enough to read!

Several times whilst reading this great story, I had a touch of Déjà vu, and it seemed like I had read this story before, yet my bookcrossing records showed that I hadn't read this title. It was only when I was halfway through the book that I actually saw the small print on the cover which said it was previously published as "Death of a Glutton". I did read Death of a Glutton in 2014. So I was actually reading the same book again. However, it mattered not, as I was enjoying it so much, so I kept on reading and was glad that I did, as I had forgotten most of it anyway. So I am copying my original review from the first time I read it. Here it is.........
.........Another great tale full of murder and mystery. I liked the descriptiions of gluttonous Peta gorging herself with food. Unfortunately, the thought of eating yet more food lured her to her death before long. However, Hamish was around to solve the murder, as usual.

I will be releasing this book over the Easter period 2017.

I will leave this book on the magazine shelf in the Barista Bar on the Stena Britannica Ferry to Holland. I hope someone will see it and take it home to read. If you are the lucky finder,
then please leave a message to say where you found it. thank you.

Hallo daar, gelukkige vinder!
Wat leuk dat je op deze pagina bent komen kijken. Als je dit leest, heb je een boek gevonden, zomaar een onverwacht kadootje van mij voor jou... Veel plezier ermee! Hierbij trouwens wat spelregels mbt bookcrossing:

1. Het zou fijn zijn als je meldt dat het veilig bij jou is. Dat mag gewoon in het Nederlands.
2. Daarna kun je het boek gaan lezen en als je wilt nog eens schrijven wat je ervan vond.
3. Mag het boek verder reizen, geef het dan door aan iemand anders, of laat het zomaar ergens weer achter, liefst op een veilige, droge plek. Je kunt via de bookcross-site ook weer melden waar je het hebt neergelegd, zodat anderen ernaar op zoek kunnen gaan...
TIP: Als je het boek op zijn reis wilt volgen, dan kun je je het beste aanmelden als nieuwe bookcrosser (www.bookcrossing.com). Het is erg leuk om erachter te komen hoe het met 'jouw' boek op z'n reis verder gaat!!
Ik zou het erg leuk vinden als je mij chamonix44 dan opgeeft als referent. Voor Nederlandse uitleg kun je terecht op de volgende site: www.bookcrossing.nl

If you are reading here, then I want to tell you that this is a. FREE . book, and there are no catches! It is now yours! Please read on.....
If you are the finder of this book it would be nice if you could leave a message here to say that you have it. Do not worry because I don't want the book back. It is yours to keep if you want it. I just want to know it is now in safe hands.

It's still on the ship.
