Hamish Macbeth is his usual infuriating, charming self and Beaton conjures the Scottish highlands as an extra character, even if she does play fast and loose with reality. Pure escapism with murders thrown in. While some aspects of the plots can seem a little dated, this is really just part of the book’s charm. An easy, addictive read. You may not think it particularly demanding, but the odds are you will end up reading more from tjis extensive series. Macbeth and the Suitors Review of the Ballantine paperback edition (1991) of the Constable & Robinson hardcover original (1990) After reading and enjoying "Death of Yesterday" due to its Estonia connection I started to search out some earlier Hamish Macbeth mysteries and Marian at my favourite Toronto independent book shop Sleuth of Baker Street had several (some used) in stock. This sort of old-fashioned cozy was exactly the remedy to wash away the taste of the overly complex and somewhat depressing "The Thursday Murder Club" (2020). Macbeth goes about with his usual manner and solves the case despite being underestimated by others around him. i did make a reasonable guess at the solution this time and was proved correct. A little flattery of the reader by the author never hurts. i think i've found my antidote to help ride out the rest of the pandemic with M.C. Beaton. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

HTML: Another adventure in M. C. Beaton's New York Times bestselling Hamish Macbeth series About the best that can be said of wealthy Maggie Baird is that, inside her middle-aged body, there still beats the heart of a beautiful tart.

Lochdubh police constable Hamish Macbeth has to question Maggie's timid niece and four former lovers, one of whom Maggie had intended to pick for her husband. All five are equally poorâ??with ample motive and opportunity to monkey with Maggie's car. Now to find the killer, the astute policeman must apply his extraordinary Highland insight into human nature. But when the evidence appears to point to the wrong person entirely, Hamish must dig down deep to stop the real murderer's escape. No library descriptions found. |
