Death of a Chimney Sweep by M. C. Beaton, 247 pages
Hamish Macbeth is the constable for Lochdubh and the surrounding area in Scotland. When Captain Davenport is found stuffed up his chimney, it's believed that local chimney sweep Pete Ray is the culprit but Hamish quickly turns his attention to the captain's past looking for suspects. The captain managed to anger and steal from many people in his past. Hamish is sure that one of the people he defrauded is responsible for the death, especially when bodies start piling up.
I've even M. C. Beaton's series over the years, including her Agatha Raisin series. If murder mysteries with odd characters, intriguing plots and lots of humor appeal to you, this is one author you don't want to miss.
