Here is the third book in the much-loved Hamish Macbeth series from the author of the best-selling Agatha Raisin series.
The most hated man in the most dour town in Scotland is sleeping with the fishes, or more accurately, has been dumped into a tank filled with crustaceans. All that remains of the murdered victim are his bones. But once the lobsters have been shipped off to Britain's best restaurants, the whole affair quickly lands on the plate of Constable Hamish Macbeth.
Exiled to the dreary outpost of Cnothan, Macbeth sorely misses his beloved Lochdubh, but before he can head back home he must first contend with a detective chief inspector who wants the murder hushed up, a dark-haired lassie who is out to seduce him, and a killer who has made mincemeat of his last victim - and will no doubt strike again.

Would you listen to Death of an Outsider again? Why?
Yes, the stories are simple, and easy to listen to. If you are looking for complicated and suspenseful, then this is not for you, but If you like Agatha Christie kind of mystery, a little more watered down, then you will like this story.What did you like best about this story?
I actually like the main character Hamish, he is amusing and I also like the interactions of the villagers.Did the narration match the pace of the story?
The narrator is o.k. I like his characterization, but the voice he uses (I am guessing his own) when he is just reading, is a little boring. It feels paced too exactly, and maybe a little too slow.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No, extreme reaction. Just a pleasant read.Easy charm

Where does Death of an Outsider rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
In the genre this listen is in my top 10What did you like best about this story?
Hamish travels to another town and meets more than a few despicable characters.The storyline moves along at a good pace and a few twists in the plot are page turners.What about Shaun Grindell’s performance did you like?
His voices match the darker storyline in this third book. I strongly disagree with the negative reviews given Grindell.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
My frustration with Hamish's, I'm a doormat, wipe your feet was somewhat mollified by his in your face approach to some real schmucks. He also kicked some butt.Any additional comments?
Looking forward to listening to the remainder of the series..A 'Heads Up'. My download had chapters out of sequence and I can't be certain some content isn't missing. I struggled through but find this sloppy QC unacceptable. Not the first time with bad downloads. Wake up Audible. People do read reviews.
My Favorite So Far

Narrator is better

This narrator had a decent voice and mostly I was able to follow characters, although it became a challenge from Macbeth to a few of the other male characters.
He just needs to become more conversational with the narration which will bring more life to the story and allow the listener to be brought into the story and not have to strain to keep with it.
Hamish Macbeth is a fun character to follow, along with the other characters M. C. Beaton has created in these books.
I am eager to begin the next Hamish Macbeth book.
Good story

A bit funnier than the previous Macbeth adventure. I’m liking this series and this tale has a good bit of comedy including the bizarre involvement of lobsters.
3rd Hamish Macbeth is lobsterific
