Publisher's summary

From the author of the Agatha Raisin television series, Death of Yesterday: A Hamish Macbeth Mystery

When a local woman tells Sergeant Hamish Macbeth that she doesn't remember what happened the previous evening, he doesn't begin to worry. She had been out drinking, after all, and he'd prefer not to be bothered with such an arrogant and annoying woman. But when her body is discovered, Hamish is forced to investigate a crime that the only known witness - now dead - had forgotten.

Trademark Hamish!

Beautifully written, expertly narrated... and yet so impressively absorbing that it's over far too soon!

Outstanding, as usual.

What did you love best about Death of Yesterday?

Once again, Beaton has written a clever and tangled mystery. But the ever clever Hamish figures it all out, much to the anger of his superiors. Now if he could just get his love life on the right track. Too bad they don't go for bigamy in the Highlands, or maybe it should be a same sex union.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Death of Yesterday?

The revelation that he most beautiful Hannah was all falsies.

What about Graeme Malcolm’s performance did you like?

His character were clear and his accents were wonderful.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Hamish does it again!

Any additional comments?

They need to bring back the BBC series.

Fun, Funny, and Highly Entertaining

If you could sum up Death of Yesterday in three words, what would they be?

Amusing, unpredictable, & funny

Any additional comments?

Graeme Malcolm's performance brings the characters to life.

Hearing the characters speak (in various accents!) makes this (audio)book much more enjoyable than its printed form.

Get on with it

It’s very frustrating book after book for Hamish to go back-and-forth back-and-forth between women. I’m still rooting for Priscilla. This was a good mystery. There are always a lot of names to remember, but at least none of them were ever mentioned and then never mentioned again. Everyone seems to be in the story for a reason.

Like visiting an old friend

Hamish Macbeth #29? (2013 addition to the mystery series)

After the first moments of the narrator speaking over harsh jangly intro music, this book was wonderful! I enjoyed Mr. Malcolm's rendition of various accents, and he was able to differentiate among characters without making any of them sound too extreme. The story was up to Beaton's high standards for this series; each book seems like a visit to Lochdubh to see old friends. Having read the first 28 books in only a few months, I am now reduced to waiting a year for each new addition, and it's difficult!
