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. Likeable village 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 copper must use all his Highland charm and detective skills to make things right. And he had better do it quickly, or else the church bells will soon toll and all of Lochdubh will be
forced to face another dreary winter without the comforting embrace of Yuletide cheer.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Chock-full of local color and sentimental cheer.” —Booklist
“[A] Christmas special of a book featuring policeman Hamish Macbeth and two minor Yuletide mysteries…It’s light fun throughout.” —Publishers Weekly
“Charming…[a] Christmas fable sure to please Hamish’s legion of fans and likely to make a few new ones.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Macbeth appears to be just what this community needs: a logical voice when one is called for, help in times of need, and a balance between older ways of thinking and the changes being brought by the outside world. The story leaves a warm glow of contentment and has several humorous moments. A perfect selection for the holiday season and a solid tale for sharing year-round.” —School Library Journal
“An inspirational treat for the holiday season.” —Library Journal
