About this listen

After a romantic disappointment and an undeserved demotion, Scots village bobby Hamish Macbeth decides a week's holiday at the coastal village of Skag might be just the ticket.

He's dead wrong, of course: the food is dire, and the man in the next room nags his wife so loudly and continuously that more than one person at the Friendly House bed-and-breakfast wishes him dead, though only Hamish is heard threatening him.

When this chap's body is found floating in the river Skag, Hamish is the prime suspect.

Critic reviews

“Beaton's Hamish MacBeth stories are always good, but the latest is a standout. The plot is even better than usual, the characters are more engaging, and even the mostly dour and serious Hamish is funnier and more likable than usual.” ( Booklist)
“Beaton has fine-tuned her MacBeth series into something altogether winning. In this 11th entry, her plot is top-notch, a few somber notes demonstrate her touch for understated compassion and, as always, Hamish and his highland cohorts are lovingly rendered.” ( Publishing News)

Just a lovely way to spend a few hours. Gentle story (well as gentle as murder can be) with humour and sadness. Beautifully read. Next please …

I like the storyline and trying to workout who killed whom.
However the Authoress, really likes to portrait the worst of people. Hamish is as nasty, mean and spiteful as the other characters. In fact everyone, except the Doctor's Wife and Asian shop keepers (so far), like to be bitchy. I thought the migies were worst Scotland had to offer. Yet the Authoress portrait a population of nasty minded people.

Typical Hamish Macbeth
