Man, according to Ms. Beaton, people really hate the dentist! Almost everyone in the book was a suspect at one point or another. And why does Hamish still put up with Pricilla's bull?

I've listened to 13 Hamish MacBeth novels as audiobooks, started whilst I was ill and struggling to sleep. All you can ask for in a cosy murder. Plenty of corpses of generally unpleasant people, nothing too horribly grisly, such scenes as there are are one-foot-on-the-floor, some titters along the way. Death of a Dentist is not the strongest, but by no means a waste of a comfortable afternoon on the sofa.

I've almost read them all. I hope Hamish's series continues.

Death of a Dentist by M.C. Beaton
Blurb
A blinding toothache sends Hamish Macbeth 120 miles out of Lochdubh to the dentist Frederick Gilchrist, only to find him dead. Since everyone is pleased the dentist is deceased--patients, several harassed women, and even his wife--Macbeth faces one of the more biting challenges of his career.
My Opinion
We find ourselves in a new village with some brand new characters in this instalment of the Hamish Macbeth series. These are short book that are really easy to read and it is so easy to dip in and out of this series. Whilst these books aren't complex, they are in no way predictable. If you have a few hours to spare and you enjoy a fun mystery you cannot go wrong with this series.
Rating 4/5

I had a bit of hard time keeping my attention with this story. I look forward to the next the book, but am going to take a little break for a maybe a few months.
