About this listen
Her table manners were a crime. But she didn’t deserve to die!
There’s not a cloud in Hamish Macbeth’s sky - just plenty of warm sunshine but not quite enough of the lovely Priscilla Halburton-Smythe. But as eight hopeful members of the Checkmate Singles Club converge on Tommel Castle Hotel for a week of serious matchmaking, the clouds roll in.
The four couples, carefully matched by dating director Maria Worth, immediately dislike one another. And the arrival of Maria’s gross, greedy business partner, Peta, kills the last vestige of romance. And as love goes out the window, murder comes in the door.
Peta soon slurps up her last meal and Hamish is left with the baffling puzzle: Who shared the fateful outing that left Peta dead with a large rosy red apple in her mouth....

Another Hamish triumph
Would you consider the audio edition of Death of a Glutton to be better than the print version?
Audio gives the book life
What other book might you compare Death of a Glutton to, and why?
Other M C Beaton books including Agatha Raisin as they're full of wonderful descriptions of both landscape and characters and have some wonderfully humorous passages. The lead characters are also never disappointing.
What does David Monteath bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
The accent, the lilting voice and the characterisation just can't be surpassed
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Remember the 7 deadly sins
Any additional comments?
Well worth a listen as is the rest of the series.

Peta vs Peter
A good book somewhat ruined by the pronunciation of Peta and Peter being the same and having to work out who was speaking.
