Death of a Prankster by M.C. Beaton

4.0

Review - I loved the wide array of characters in this particular novel. Considering how short a time we have to get to know them it worked quite well in this instance. I want to see more of Hamish and Priscilla together, however, in future books. I loved the idea of pranks driving someone to kill, even though (without giving too much away!) that wasn't really the reason at all. A very clever combination of motives and ideas surrounding this murder.
