Death of a Gentle Lady Audiobook

" First Hamish MacBeth novel... enjoying it. "

" I love this series. I've started to watch the BBC series, which has lots of changes and not many of the same characters, but still great. "

" I actually enjoyed reading this one, Hamish was just doing his thing, I just hope he gets married to Priscilla. "

" Beaton is getting a little samey-Hamish wants to stay in the village, Hamish solves the mystery, Hamish's superiors want to promote him to the big city, Hamish finagles a way to stay in village. Elspeth and Priscilla float through and leave town again. "

" If you're looking for a deep dark mystery then you should pass this by. This is a light, fun to read series with this one ranking right about in the middle of the pack. Hamish is his typical self in this book which is exactly why you read them. With this series you know what you're going to get, you become a little more familiar with the recurring characters and there's always a good payoff in the end. I wouldn't recommend it for a first read if you've never read Hamish before. I came across "Death of a Village" first and so I would suggest you start with that and then if you like it, start from the beginning and work you're way through. "

" I read this reluctantly. I read one book of the other series she writes, Agathia Raisin, and didn't like it. A partron told me this was better, and she was right. I liked Hamish and his confusion about what he wanted in terms of his personal life while in complete control of his professional one. Plus, Mrs. Gentle really was a deliciously nasty woman who earned her death. "

" I like MC Beaton. I find myself laughing throughout her books at her descriptions and the circumstances she comes up with. This was my first Hamish Macbeth story and I like him too. She is great with defining her characters and I really enjoy the setting. Nice clean mysteries. "

" Another winner in the Hamish Macbeth series. "

" I like Hamish Macbeth even better than Agatha Raisin. Great book. Couldn't put it down! "

" these are all weirdly comforting. "

" Scotland, Hamish, and a couple of murders. Hamish makes plans to marry a stranger. Priscilla and Elspeth make appearances of course. "

" Great series - I have read them all. "

" A good old "who done it?" featuring detective Hamish MacBeth and an interesting cast of characters. "

" This is the series that the tv show Hamish MacBeth is based on. Since I like the show, I thought I'd try the books. I have to say I like the show better, but it's an easy, fun read. "

" M C Beaton is cosy mystery's top writer... two fun series which will make you laugh aloud and relax, escape and enjoy. "

" This is the 24th Hamish MacBeth I've read and I never tire of reading them! LOVE THESE BOOKS! :) "

" Hamish is such a loveable Scot! And he solves mysteries, too! "

" OK, I half-read this one. Couldn't really get into it - I got the feeling that I should've started with #1 in the series if I really wanted to enjoy all the interaction between characters that surrounds the plot. It seemed that I was missing out on a lot of inside jokes. "

" This one is another favorite from the series! I am still laughing about Hamish's "traditional highland greeting" trick that he plays on the arrogant English author who is writing a book about the "primitive people of the British isles." "

" I really like the Hamish books, and this was better than some because he didn't wallow in misery. "

" M. C. Beaton always provides an interesting read. Hamish McBeth is forever a young Robert Carlyle to me. "

" I do like Hamish. He's such a good sort, and his evil supervisor Blair is brilliant in his attempts to destroy the fortunes of Hamish. This is a fun read. Lighthearted and full of the quirks of human nature. I especially enjoyed how Hamish got Blair married to Mary. "

" I always enjoy a new Hamish story. Its a quick easy read and his character is so entertaining. I have to agree, however, with the reviews of those who have read a good number of these books, that this one wasn't one of the better ones. I'd call it Hamish light. "

" Hamish finds himself the target of a serial killer... another ripping good yarn from M. C. Beaton. "

" A nice gentle read, a good mystery with a twist. "

" Like most of the Hamish series I enjoyed this one. Hamish finds himself again trying to solve another mystery and yet stay away from getting married. Both are hard for him to solve. As usual, Hamish comes through. Enjoyed this read "

" Scotland, Hamish, and a couple of murders. Hamish makes plans to marry a stranger. Priscilla and Elspeth make appearances of course. "

" I like MC Beaton. I find myself laughing throughout her books at her descriptions and the circumstances she comes up with. This was my first Hamish Macbeth story and I like him too. She is great with defining her characters and I really enjoy the setting. Nice clean mysteries. "

" My first Hamish Macbeth mystery. Delighful! "

" Murder Mystery. I could not get into the plot. And would not read another by this author. "

" First Hamish Macbeth read. Fast and easy. Have two more on my shelf, let's see if they are all the same... "

" I am new fan of M.C. Beaton. I love the language and attitudes of the quirky Scottish characters. Laugh out loud funny in parts. Thoroughly enjoyable. "

" Hamesh Macbethis a loveable character. Light, humerous reading. "

" #24??? I had no idea there were that many Hamish Macbeth mysteries? Have I read them all? Maybe.... and realized I was re-reading this one. Oh, well, a fun read! "
