About this listen

A missing person report is not usually something that Hamish Macbeth sees as cause for undue distress.

Should a child or a vulnerable person vanish, it's an urgent matter that needs to be treated seriously, but in Macbeth's experience, most other people who go missing tend to turn up again before long. So when Kate Hibbert disappears after having last been seen struggling along the road with a heavy suitcase, he is convinced she has gone travelling and reluctantly goes through the motions of investigating.

Interviewing those who were closest to her, Macbeth is perplexed by their apparent lack of concern but sees no reason to suspect foul play. When Hibbert does eventually resurface, however, a storm of lies, intrigue and scandal threatens Macbeth's tranquil village of Lochdubh.

Torn between loyalty to his local community and his responsibilities as a police officer, he begins threading his way through a maze of deceit, quickly finding himself on the trail of a ruthless, treacherous murderer. If he catches the killer, peace can return to the village. If he fails, he will lose everything—his job, his home and the life he so loves in Lochdubh.

The legacy of MC Beaton lives on in this great story with wonderful narration. Can’t wait for the next episode in Hamish’s beautiful world.

This lovely, lively story sees Hamish getting shot at on a beach, a far cry from the benign thefts in his village. It's a book that flows seamlessly, and entertains from beginning to end.

Excitement for Hamish, and a new friend

I think RW Green does a good job of keeping the Hamish Macbeth universe alive, & it was nice to revisit rural Scotland after I had listened to a run of murder mysteries set in middle class England. I love Hamish's alternative lifestyle, & his rejection of the captialist rat race. However, I got a bit irritated by his deep mourning for Dorothy, especially as I couldn't remember her much from the last book! Heartless, I know! David Monteath's narration was lovely, as always.

Nice to be in Hamish's company again!

I have listened to and loved every single Hamish Macbeth book over the years, and it is wonderful that the series lives on, beyond the sad death of its creator.
R W Green does an excellent job of carrying on where M C Beaton had to leave off. This book was just as wonderful as all of the others, and as good as the previous one, also written by him.
Long may this series continue! Hopefully the next installment has been set up already, at the end of this book.
David Monteath does an outstanding job of narrating these wonderful books ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

As brilliant as ever!
