After all this time, will Hamish and Priscilla finally be married? Hamish should be thrilled, but there's trouble in paradise as Priscilla seems determined to mold him into the kind of husband she wants. Meanwhile, a handsome stranger is causing trouble with the local (married) women. Can Hamish sort out a vicious murder, as well as his own love life?

Hamish finds out that sometimes it is not so great when wishes finally come true. A pretty-boy, who turned out to be jerk was killed. Hamish solves his murder but it ends up costing him.

Poor Hamish! He's engaged to the lovely Priscilla Halburton-Smythe, but all that glitters isn't gold. I skipped around in this series. I knew that they were engaged and that it had ended, but I didn't know why. I'm glad I was able to go back and fill in the gaps. I just love every book in this series.

I have to say that this book was my least favourite and that purely because of Hamish's character. He seemed much pettier than usual and he could be downright cruel to people who were perfectly nice or at least indifferent to him. I hope the next book is better.

Although I really like these books, this one was a bit of a downer.

My least favorite, I don't like conflict between adults that would be resolved if they just talked to each other.
