"Love Hamish Macbeth! Can’t wait for the next book to be published. It seems M.C. Beaton aka Marion Chesney never lacks the inspiration for a good story. I even liked the BBC series although it was way too short and Robert Carlyle looked nothing like his character as described in the book. " — Esmee (4 out of 5 stars)

" While Graeme Malcolm is my FAVORITE Hamish MacBeth narrator, I thoroughly enjoyed this story. One of the earlier stories! Highly recommend "
" None of these books are literary masterpieces, but they are lots of fun to read. This one was one of my favorites. "
" good fast read with good characters but sad ending "

" Nice mystery set in the Scottish Highlands--I liked the detective, Hamish Macbeth. "

" As always Hamish MacBeth is delightful. "
" Hamish goes undercover! (And does a fantastic job!) If only someone at HQ didn't have it in for our favorite Highland detective. . . . "
" I love those Hamish Macbeth mysteries. "
" One of my favorites of the series! Hamish has to go undercover twice and gets his cover blown with near-deadly repercussions - it's a very exciting and different installment that has Hamish away from Lochdubh and all the usual suspects there and investigating the drug underground. "
" M.C. Beaton's Hamish Macbeth series is a great, quick read.... I appreciate the hint of chemistry with out the explicit details. The mysteries are fun to unravel with Hamish. I only wish I could hear him speak! "
" I think that these books just keep getting better and better! I told Kevin that reading them is almost like watching a crime television series. I know all the characters, the location etc. Fun read:) "
