This is my very favorite Hamish MacBeth yet. I feel the author Beaton hadn’t flushed out why Hamish was going to stay a local bobby in previous books. The first one mentioned an obligation to stay single and send home money to his family until the next oldest sibling could provide. Then we stopped hearing about that and started hearing about how he liked to be lazy. But in this book, we have a solid understanding about Hamish. He is happy. Content. This coincides with him getting over being lovesick which allows him to be happy and content.
I just thoroughly enjoyed this one. Right down to the little details. Hamish is kind and solid person and that really shined in this book.

Je ne me suis jamais douté de qui était l'assassin. Cette affaire était un peu tiré par les cheveux et je plaind le docteur Brodie.

Hamish is the most lovable character. I enjoy reading any book in this series.

Lochdubh's locals are not sure what to make of the English couple who move in and open up a Bed and Breakfast but the wife soon makes a big impression. A fun, light village mystery. Listened to the audio version read by Davina Porter.

Another amusing light mystery starring Hamish Macbeth. Not much to the story but Hamish is fun.
