Description
Death of a Prankster by M.C. Beaton is a mystery novel that follows police constable Hamish Macbeth as he investigates a murder at Arrat House, a Scottish manor with a history of pranks and practical jokes. The victim, Arthur Trent, has been stabbed and found in a closet, leaving behind a house full of suspects who are more interested in the will than the crime. As Hamish delves into the case, he is joined by Chief Inspector and his former flame, Priscilla Halburton-Smythe, adding complexity to an already intriguing investigation. With a cast of greedy relatives and a complex web of motives, Hamish must navigate the twists and turns to uncover the truth behind Trent's murder. A classic whodunit with a touch of humor, Death of a Prankster is a gripping mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end.
