Amazing news is spreading like wildfire across the Scottish countryside: the most famous of all Highland bachelors, police sergeant Hamish Macbeth, is planning to marry at last! Everyone in the village of Lochdubh adores Josie McSween, Hamish's newest constable and blushing bride-to-be. While locals think she is quite a catch, Hamish has a severe case of pre-nuptial jitters. After all, if it wasn't for the recent murder of a beautiful woman in a neighboring village, there wouldn't be a wedding in the first place.

For it was a mysterious Valentine's Day card - delivered to the victim before her death - which initially drew Hamish and Josie together in the investigation. And now, as they work side by side, they soon discover that the woman's list of admirers was endless - confirming Hamish's suspicion that love can be deaf, blind... and deadly!

The victim, a young woman named Sarah, had been the object of many men's affections in the village. She had a charming personality and a beautiful smile that could light up a room. But it seems that her beauty was her downfall.

As Hamish and Josie investigate Sarah's murder, they discover that she had been receiving a series of Valentine's Day cards from different admirers. The cards were all filled with romantic messages and promises of love. But it was the last card that sealed her fate.

The card was signed by a man named John, who claimed to be Sarah's secret admirer. It was a romantic message, filled with promises of love and a future together. But it was also laced with poison.

As soon as Sarah read the card, she fell ill. She was rushed to the hospital, but it was too late. She died from the poison that was in the card.

Hamish and Josie are determined to find out who killed Sarah. They begin by questioning her admirers, but they soon discover that everyone in the village had a motive for killing her.

One of Sarah's admirers, a wealthy businessman named Richard, was jealous of her relationship with John. He had been trying to win her over, but she had refused to give him the time of day. Richard was determined to get revenge on Sarah and anyone who stood in his way.

Another admirer, a young man named Alex, was in love with Sarah but was too shy to express his feelings. He had been sending her flowers and gifts, but she had never returned his affections. Alex was devastated by Sarah's death and was determined to find out who killed her.

As Hamish and Josie investigate further, they discover that Sarah had been involved in a complicated love triangle. She had been dating John, but was also interested in Richard. Richard had been trying to win her over, but she had refused to give him the time of day.

One night, Sarah and John had gone out for a romantic dinner. Richard had been watching them from a distance, and had seen them kiss. He was furious and decided to take revenge.

He went to Sarah's house the next day and poisoned her drink. He then waited for her to fall ill and die. But he had underestimated Sarah's strength. She fought through the pain and went to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with poisoning.

Hamish and Josie are able to track down Richard and arrest him. He confesses to the murder and is sentenced to life in prison.

As Hamish and Josie celebrate their victory, they realize that love can be both beautiful and deadly. Sarah's death had taught them that they must be careful who they trust and who they love. They also realize that they must always be on the lookout for danger, even in the most innocent of places.

In the end, Hamish and Josie are able to find justice for Sarah and bring closure to her family. They also find love in each other's arms, and their relationship grows stronger with each passing day.
