About this listen

Amazing news has spread across the Scottish countryside. The most famous of highland bachelors, police sergeant Hamish Macbeth, may actually marry at last. The entire village of Lochdubh adores Macbeth's bride-to-be. Josie McSween is Hamish's new constable, and she is a pretty little thing, with glossy brown hair and big brown eyes.

The local folk think that Josie is quite a catch, but Hamish couldn't be more miserable. The wedding wouldn't be happening if it weren't for the murder of a beautiful woman in a nearby village. After the gorgeous woman receives a deadly Valentine's Day gift, Hamish and Josie take on the case. However, they soon discover that the list of the victim's admirers is endless. The case confirms Hamish's belief that love is extremely dangerous, but he still can't avoid the events that lead up to his celebrated engagement.

Exquisite reading of superb writing

Fabulous storytelling for taking a little break from life. Fun beyond words. I can't stop smiling. One endearing or clever or crack-up scene after another. Thanks M. C. Beaton and Graeme Malcom. I'm spoiled for life.

Easily my favorite MacBeth story

M.C. Beaton packed a good dose of humor in this story. She makes you feel as if you’re one of the many residents of Lochdubh, painfully witnessing the ingenious, but lax, constable through his most hilariously brilliant misadventures. Couldn’t help but feel he had everything coming to him, good AND bad. Loved it!

Death of a Valentine

I have enjoyed Hamish MacBeth for a long time now. This misadventure is as entertaining as the others.

Keep Your Finger Close

M. C. Beaton’s MacBeth (sp) stories are always good. Unfortunately there was something wrong with this audiobook. It would stop every few minutes and I had to keep my finger close to continue the audio. Hope no one else has this problem.

new twists and turns

Another entertaining escape into the Scottish Highlands with Hamish. It could be a tad farfetched, but that's part of the fun.
