Another book another murder to be solved by hamish macbeth which he seems to be doing a very outstanding job as it is.
A man named Bartley lady player I believe and not liked by many people at all throughout the parties evening, however its all fun and games when a murder happens and that it needs to be solved before anything else happens oh wait another murder but I can't say who it is that gets murdered at all.
In my opinion I am really liking the hamish macbeth series still as it isn't letting me down at all, I am more loving the Scottish Detective and his way of investigating, I just hope in the next book he gets a rest from these murders, but in all honesty I don't know if he will ever get a break at all.
I recommend yous give the hamish macbeth series a go to see how you all cope with it as they are very easy to read.

I love a good cozy mystery, and I think I'm falling for Hamish Macbeth.

I love this series - the perfect blend of mystery and humor and they are quick reads.

So, based on the first two books, this series is just a whole lot of fun. Campy, vividly drawn characters, spiced up with a murder or two, and neatly wrapped up in about 200 pages. I'm certainly enjoying them.

Much better than the Agatha Raisin series. Although his love interest is a wet rag.
