About this listen

The third Hamish Macbeth crime mystery, from internationally best-selling author M.C.Beaton

The most hated man in the most dour town in Scotland is sleeping with the fishes, or - more accurately - has been dumped into a tank filled with crustaceans. All that remains of the murdered victim are his bones. But once the lobsters have been shipped off to Britain's best restaurants, the whole affair quickly lands on the plate of Constable Hamish Macbeth.

Exiled to the dreary outpost of Cnothan, Macbeth sorely misses his beloved Lochdubh, but before he can head back home he has to contend with a detective chief inspector who wants the murder hushed up, a dark-haired lassie who is out to seduce him, and a killer who has made mincemeat of his last victim, and will no doubt strike again....

Love this (original) version of Hamish. Another fun story, made infinitely classier by David Monteath’s narration.

Fun.

I believe these stories do so well because of the way the author develops the characters who are themed throughout the series. Each book is an enjoyable read and the audio version is perfectly performed. These stories are a guilty pleasure.

Easy going but also captivating.
