Constable Hamish Macbeth investigates hanging of the postmistress with a poison pen letter beneath her feet. It looks like suicide but is murder. Macbeth interviews villagers, and then another woman is found stabbed. Amusing side plot of Jenny coming north to meet Macbeth and falling for a newspaper writer with high goals to be achieved through plagiarism. Good atmosphere of cozy isolated Scottish village.
