Death of a Bore

When John Heppel, a visiting writer to Lochdubh, first proposes forming a writers¿ circle, the idea is met with much enthusiasm from local residents. However, once the classes get underway, attendance quickly falters due to one undeniable fact: John Heppel is a long-winded, consummate bore. But is dullness a motive for murder? Hamish Macbeth wouldn¿t ordinarily think so, therefore when Heppel is found dead, Hamish begins looking for deeper meaning in the writer¿s stories, including a strange, unfinished soap opera script that seems to suggest a more sinister motive behind its author¿s unhappy ending.
