Review

M C Beaton's Hamish Macbeth books are a delight: clever, intricate and sardonic. The flavour is reminiscent of Compton MacKenzie's Whisky Galore and I'm very glad to own a complete set (Kerry Greenwood)

The much-loved Hamish Macbeth series... a beguiling blend of wry humour and sharp observations of rural life (Good Book Guide)

The detective novels of M C Beaton, a master of outrageous black comedy, have reached cult status (Anne Robinson The Times)

It's always a special treat to return to Lochdubh (New York Times)

Superb entertainment, as rich and warming as a fine malt whisky, and every bit as addictive (Houston Chronicle)

An enchanting series....M.C. Beaton has a foolproof plot for the village mystery (New York Times Book Review)

Beaton, a Scot herself, excels at giving readers a taste of Highland life and creating a believable character in the lonely, brilliant, continually frustrated-in-love Macbeth (Booklist)

Recommended for all mystery collections (Library Journal)
