Helpful Score: 1
I'm a Hamish fan, and prejudiced. Once again murder has occurred in his territory. And, once again, he is at odds with his supervisor, Blair. While laugh-out-loud humor isn't the norm in these stories, the description of a superior officer's run-in with his stopped up chimney is precious. Worth the read.
tightly plotted and well written.
"Offers humor, intrigue, and local color galore."-Kirkus Review
Lots of fun. I really enjoy her books.
Hamish Macbeth, Always good and entertaining. I love this cozy series with it's great characters and interesting plots. In this book, a nasty, bore of a writer is murdered and it's up to Hamish to find out who murdered him as Blair, his obnoxious superior is anxious to accuse one of the villagers. Recommend.
Always good understated humor in Beaton's books.

All the Hamish MacBeth series of mysteries are fun, humorous, intelligently written books. Hamish gets no respect from townspeople or his police superiors, and is always unlucky in love, but manages to solve every crime that comes into his jurisdiction.
