Publisher's summary

In the dark, wintry highlands of Lochdubh, Scotland, where the local Calvinist element resists the secular trimmings of Christmas, the spirit of old Saint Nick is about as welcome as a flat tire on a deserted road. Nor is crime taking a holiday, as Constable Hamish Macbeth soon finds himself protecting an unhappy girl, unlocking the secrets of a frightened old woman, and retrieving some stolen holiday goods. Now the lanky lawman must use all his Highland charm and detective skills to make things right. And he had better do it quickly, for the church bells will soon toll and all Lochdubh will be forced to face another dreary winter without the comforting embrace of Yuletide cheer.

Sweet, short holiday story

Really enjoyed this light holiday listen. Narrated well Mr. Malcom. If you are a fan of the Hamish series, you will like this sweet Christmas tale.

Fun read!

What a beautiful sweet treat!!
Story was so entertaining!!!
It was my 3rd book of the Hamish Macbeth series.
Realizing it wasn’t the 3rd in the series, I am eagerly looking forward to book 3 now.

Truly love the characters in this series!!!

A perfect anecdote for a rainy day

It simply made me feel better. It’s quaint, funny and clever. Surely that is enough to give it a whirl!

A lovely listen

Listened to this as I worked the dough and cut out the cookies of Christmas.

Warm and funny, and a sweet trip to a foreign country.

Perfect

Charming!

This was my first Hamish Macbeth Mystery. The narration was perfect for the quirky characters of the plot. I’ll be listening to more from this series soon!

Colorful characters, great setting

This was the perfect simple narrative set in a lovely area with interesting characters. Short & sweet distraction. Highly recommend.
