Acerca de esta escucha

A wealthy laird’s guests are trapped in his estate during a furious storm - but when the laird turns up dead, Scotland’s most quick-witted but unambitious policeman, Hamish Macbeth, is on the case, in this delightful new short story in M.C. Beaton's New York Times best-selling series.

When Sergeant Hamish Macbeth is sent to investigate reports that the wealthy new laird of the remote Naglar House has disappeared, northwest Scotland is hit by the worst storm in living memory. The road is washed away, phone lines are down, mobile reception is dead, and his police radio is out of order. He is trapped with the laird's high-class house guests. Then he discovers the laird's body.

Forced to remain overnight at the house, Hamish interviews each of the guests and pieces together an alarming picture of clandestine infidelity, vicious jealousy, deadly revenge, lust, greed, and fear. It begins to look like all of the guests had good reason to want the laird dead, but which one of them actually did the deed?

I’ve loved each and every Hamish Macbeth but…

I’ve loved all each and every one of the Hamish Macbeth stories however, the change in narrator was too much for me…a different rhythm threw me off. Story was great as always, but I think I would have preferred to read the book myself in print, rather than listen to this narrator…

Shorter than normal.

This was well done but much shorter story and a bit more predictable than previous books.

Good but too short for price.


If you like the Hamish Macbeth series, you'll love this one. my only gripe is the price. for the most part it's the same price as the other books, but it's not even two hours long. As I said though, that is the only complaint I have. excellent story.

Loved it!

Any HAMISH Macbeth books are a treat. This was no exception. MC Beaton is amazing.

NARRATOR

Love the book, story, EVERYTHING....but this narrator...nooooooo. He just is NOT the right one for the voice of Hamish. He almost takes away from the story. Back to the original or TRY AGAIN.

AWFUL narration and too short

I know MC Beaton died and she left her writing to a trusted author but even the last book was a disappointment as Angela was in one split second scene, suddenly Pricilla’s dad “admires” him, Blair literally walks away unscathed again and Hamish is left at the…oh forget it…it wasn’t the best…but this one…oy ANOTHER change in narrators…this one seems to go in and out of an American or some other accent that is NOT Scottish…the guy sounds like he does peppy commercials for a living. It’s sad enough our beloved series is coming to an end but couldn’t we at least have our Hamish (the narrator and the character) for these last few books. If not then just do away with him and put us ALL out of our miseries bcuz poor Hamish would be embarrassed by how weird he sounds, as embarrassed as we are hearing it and MC Beaton would be had she lived to hear it

Just Right!

I really enjoyed this quick read/listen. The storytelling was right in line with the Hamish MacBeth we have all come to love. His character was spot-on! Hope to have additional books by Green. He is carrying the torch very well.
