About this listen

In this addition to a New York Times bestselling mystery series, Sergeant Hamish Macbeth—Scotland's most quick-witted but unambitious policeman—investigates the disappearance of a local woman who is more than she seems.

Kate Hibbert is all too eager to lend a hand to her neighbors. Although she has been a resident of the sleepy village of Lochdubh for only a year, in that time Kate has alienated one too many of its residents with her interfering—and not entirely well-intentioned—ways. When Kate’s neighbor sees her lugging a heavy suitcase to the bus stop, he hopes that the prying woman is gone for good. But two weeks later, Kate’s cousin arrives in town with the news that Kate has gone missing.

Hamish Macbeth is called in to investigate the disappearance, and soon he is befuddled by the discovery of Kate’s body, her suitcase . . . and the sneaking suspicion that Kate was someone much more sinister than she claimed.

Critic reviews

"Longing for escape? Tired of waiting for Brigadoon to materialize? Time for a trip to Lochdubh, the scenic, if somnolent, village in the Scottish Highlands where M. C. Beaton sets her beguiling whodunits featuring Constable Hamish Macbeth."—New York Times Book Review

Great narration

Great narration for this book and it helps give clarity to the plot. The characters are very different from each other.

Hamish has become a new man

You can definitely tell that there is a new person helping write these books. I’m not saying that it’s either good or bad, but Hamish has grown a backbone. There is also more action in this book which I am not a big fan of, but it wasn’t grotesque so it was fine.

Delightful

It's impossible to hear enough of Hamish Macbeth’s story. We miss Ms. Beaton, but Hamish is in capable hands.

Most exciting Hamish Macbeth book! (Read in order)

The story was great! Intriguing and exciting. I don't know if Graeme Malcolm's voice is changing, but it seemed lower and gruffer many times during the narration. That made it hard sometimes to understand whether it was Hamish or someone else speaking. Even so, it was very enjoyable. Makes me wish I lived in Lochdubh, except for all the murders!

The story continues

I am grateful that the antics of Loch Dubh continue. I love all the characters. I’ve read/listened to the entire series more than once. And RW Green has done a fine job of carrying on the tales of Hamish.
