[b:Death of a Cad|213472|Death of a Cad (Hamish Macbeth, #2)|M.C. Beaton|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172760921s/213472.jpg|206652] was a definite improvement on the preceding Hamis Macbeth mystery. [a:M.C. Beaton|1657638|M.C. Beaton|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1218288781p2/1657638.jpg] seems to have found her stride in the genre and the characters are far more developed. We learn more about Hamish and his object of affection, Priscilla Halburton-Smythe. We also receive further proof that both the Scottish Highlands and country houses are dangerous. Also dangerous are and pushy fiances. (Naturally, as someone who has read many of the Regency novels the author writes as [a:Marion Chesney|50258|Marion Chesney|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1226562598p2/50258.jpg] I was previously aware of the trouble the latter can bring.) Overall, this was a delightful and light read. I recommend it to any fans of the English mystery genre.
