Death of a Prankster (Hamish Macbeth 7)
What you need to know before your trail
When Police Constable Hamish Macbeth is called to a murder at Arrat House, home of relentless practical joker Arthur Trent, he doesn’t exactly race to the scene. Prepared for a prank, Hamish arrives to find that Trent is most decidedly dead — stabbed and stuffed in a closet. And for suspects, there’s a houseful of greedy relations, all more interested in the will than the crime at hand
Travel Guide
Hamish Macbeth country
Arrat House
Fictional but very very appealing;
The house seen clearly from the outside, was a large square grey building with turrets on each corner in the French manner, rather like a miniature chateau. Arrat House lay at the foot of a mountain that reared its menacing built up to the sky
Paul Sinclair and Melissa Clarke are picked up at Inverness station and taken to Arrat House so could it be near here? If so, you would do well to visit Cawdor Castle since this has a Macbeth link! Shakespeare granted, but in our eyes it’s Hamish!
Lochdubh
Constable Hamish Macbeth lives in the fictitious town of Lochdubh in Sutherland, Scotland
The TV version
The series was filmed on location in the village of Plockton, the town of Kyle of Lochalsh and the surrounding area. The booktrail is a mix of the two.
