Death of a Scriptwriter (Hamish Macbeth, Bk 14)

Hamish feels a bit sorry for the lonely spinster and invites her to dinner. The 70 year old lady is vain and class conscious so has not made any friends. To her delight, her last book is going to be made into a TV show. She does not know that the scriptwriter completely changes the characters, time of the book, etc. The scriptwriter is hard to deal with and many people on the show and off, including the author have shouted they will kill him. He ends up dead along with the leading lady. In this case, there are too many suspects and Hamish has a time of it narrowing it down.
