Summary
Hamish Macbeth is savouring the delights of a Highland summer. But as fast as the rain rolls in from the loch, his happy life goes to hell in a handbasket. The trouble begins when his beloved Priscilla Halburton-Smythe returns to Lochdubh with a new fiancé on her arm. His miseries multiply when clouds of midges descend on the town. And then a paragon of housewife perfection named Trixie Thomas moves into Lochdubh with her cowed husband in tow. The newcomer quickly convinces the local ladies to embrace low-cholesterol meals, ban alcohol, and begin bird-watching. Soon the town’s menfolk are up in arms and Macbeth must solve Lochdubh’s newest crime - the mysterious poisoning of the perfect wife.
M. C. Beaton is the author of the best-selling Agatha Raisin series. She has also written several Regency romance series. She lives between Paris and the Cotswolds.

A Class Copper, Hamish MacBeth
Love these stories, Hamish always gets his ‘man’, against the odds of his horrible boss.

Absolutely love these books. easy to listen to, however the plots are always good and you are kept guessing to the end who the culprit is.

A lovely, benign murder mystery
M C Beaton has left the world a sadder place with her passing, but we still have these wonderful stories to go to. The story is a unique one, with Hamish trying to avoid getting promoted. Brilliantly narrated.

More enjoyment with Hamish
Another fun story with Hamish, whose character continues to develop as the books go on. He and the landscape are definitely the high points, along with David Monteath’s excellent narration.
