Death of a Village

A Hamish Macbeth Mystery

De: M. C. Beaton

Narrado por: Graeme Malcolm

The aromas of wild thyme and Highland heather waft through Lochdubh, home to M. C. Beaton's eccentric policeman, Hamish Macbeth. Yet what the irascible constable smells in his latest case is the acrid scent of fear as an entire town is entrapped in something dark and deadly....

Yet as he deftly investigates the summer's high crimes and misdemeanors, he attracts the attention of his superiors. They feel a promotion and transfer will give him a larger playing field than Lochdubh. That's the last thing Macbeth wants. Now the laconic lawman needs a clever way to quash the move without losing his job entirely....

Death of a village

I really like the Hamish MC Beth series! I listened to the audio book version today and enjoyed it immensely.

One of the best hamish mcbeth stories

I’ve enjoyed the hamish stories, but this one moved along very quickly and had a couple of sub plots going on at same time. It kept me entertained and I did not wanting stop listening.

review of death of a village

I enjoyed the mix of thriller & Gothic mystery. The action was varied & well written. The performance was stellar. Hamish MacBeth is one of my favorite series characters.

what a grand book

I really enjoyed this story Hamish out did himself I had a good laugh with this one the narrator was on point was usual very pleased with this one

This was Great

I've read several of the series.. This one was pretty good you're too good with all the added elements of intrigue and deception. As well as Hamish's quirks quirks and that of his dog Lugs.

cozy mystery

I enjoy these stories as multiple events and happenings occur around a main mystery keeping the pace moving. There's lots of interesting characters and the main one is very loveable.

Very entertaining!!

Been listening in order …. This one was one of my favorite! Sad that there is only one more that’s “included” in my membership …. Not sure I’ll use credits for the rest.

I'm a sucker for the accents

Besides the accents, the story is fun and Hamish Macbeth is a great character as are the town folks. it's nice to escape to the highlands for a wee time.

Comfort Reading

What did you love best about Death of a Village?

I love anything by M.C. Beaton. Ok - maybe not the sexiest series, but I call the Hamish Macbeth series "comfort reading". Ms. Beaton has a great sense of humor and heartwarming characters. Totally in love with Lochdubh.

What about Graeme Malcolm’s performance did you like?

Graeme Malcolm as Hamish Macbeth is the best! He nails it.

Enjoyable Story

I enjoy many of the Hamish Macbeth Mysteries and this one is a good one. It makes me happy that Hamish is actually a good person and is very attached to the townspeople. So many detectives are jaded and bitter so it is very refreshing to have a nice little story surrounding a mystery. There really aren't enough words of flattery that I could give for the narrator. He is absolutely one of my favorites of all time.
