About this listen
The trouble begins when his beloved Priscilla Halburton-Smythe returns to Lochdubh with a new fiancé on her arm. His miseries multiply when clouds of midges descend on the town. And then a paragon of housewife perfection named Trixie Thomas moves into Lochdubh with her cowed husband in tow.
The newcomer quickly convinces the local ladies to embrace low-cholesterol meals, ban alcohol and begin bird-watching. Soon the town's menfolk are up in arms and Macbeth must solve Lochdubh's newest crime - the mysterious poisoning of the perfect wife.©1989 M.C. Beaton
Critic Reviews
M C Beaton's Hamish Macbeth books are a delight: clever, intricate and sardonic. The flavour is reminiscent of Compton MacKenzie's Whisky Galore and I'm very glad to own a complete set
The much-loved Hamish Macbeth series... a beguiling blend of wry humour and sharp observations of rural life.
The detective novels of M C Beaton, a master of outrageous black comedy, have reached cult status.
Beaton, a Scot herself, excels at giving readers a taste of Highland life and creating a believable character in the lonely, brilliant, continually frustrated-in-love Macbeth.
Superb entertainment, as rich and warming as a fine malt whisky, and every bit as addictive
It's always a special treat to return to Lochdubh
As usual, Beaton delivers a delightfully old-fashioned, absorbing village mystery.
This fictional world-part cozy, part unsparing-can be highly addictive.
