Summary

Summary

Sergeant Hamish Macbeth—Scotland's most quick-witted but unambitious policeman—is back and may have finally met the woman of his dreams in this new mystery in M.C. Beaton's beloved, New York Times bestselling series.

Hamish's new constable, Dorothy McIver, may be the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. Completely bewitched by her sparkling blue eyes, Hamish spends the summer traveling with her up and down Sutherland until finally, he can take it no longer. He gets down on one knee beside the Land Rover and begs her to marry him—and to his amazement and delight, she says yes.

But just as the town of Lochdubh gets ready to celebrate, Hamish finds himself with a new murder on his hands. If he doesn't find the killer fast, Hamish's dream wedding could become a nightmare. 

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Beaton and Green do a superb job keeping the red herrings coming and the plot twists jumping out at you until the finale.” —BookReporter
“This is R. W. Green’s first outings as the successor to Marion Beaton’s Hamish Macbeth series, and he captures [Macbeth’s] charm…Thanks to the gentle touch of R. W. Green, readers will look forward to spending more time in the future with Hamish.” —New York Journal of Books
“Veteran storyteller Beaton may be gone, but her beloved Highlands policeman lives on in another tale of murder and thwarted romance.” —Kirkus Reviews
“This Hamish Macbeth novel maintains Beaton’s distinctive voice and includes the usual village eccentrics, loads of Scottish lore, and the light humor that Beaton fans have loved through the years.” —Library Journal
“The fact that Macbeth has a new recruit makes for some terrific comic moments.” —Booklist
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
Hamish Macbeth is that most unusual character, one to whom the reader returns because of his charming flaws. May he never get promoted. —New York Journal of Books
With residents and a constable so authentic, it won't be long before tourists will be seeking Lochdubh and believing in the reality of Hamish Macbeth as surely as they believed in Sherlock Holmes. —Denver Rocky Mountain News
Macbeth is the sort of character who slyly grows on you. —Chicago Sun-Times
Satisfying for both established and new Macbeth fans. —Booklist on Death of an Honest Man
