Death of a Bore

By: M. C. Beaton

Narrated by: Graeme Malcolm

When John Heppel, a visiting writer to Lochdubh, first proposes forming a writers' circle, the idea is met with much enthusiasm from local residents. However, once the classes get underway, attendance quickly falters due to one undeniable fact: John Heppel is a long-winded, consummate bore. But is dullness a motive for murder? Hamish Macbeth wouldn't ordinarily think so. So when Heppel is found dead, Hamish begins looking for deeper meaning in the writer's stories, including a strange, unfinished soap-opera script that seems to suggest a more sinister motive behind its author's unhappy ending.Great Scot! Don't miss more of Hamish Macbeth's cases.©2005 Marion Chesney (P)2005 BBC Audiobooks America

Critic reviews

"This fictional world - part cozy, part unsparing - can be highly addictive." (School Library Journal)

"Quirky but well-plotted....offers humor, intrigue, and local color galore." (Kirkus Reviews)

"Graeme Malcolm's cool, dry chameleon voice moves from one well-thought-out choice for a character to the next, giving not just their many different lilts but also their personalities, with the deftest of touches." (AudioFile)

Elsbeth be GONE

Good murder story, as always. Bad Elsbeth story, as always. Please let this be it.

terrific

This is a delightful book with interesting, quirky characters. The narrator is terrific. What a great way to ease the pain of Houston traffic. I can't wait to read more in the series.

Another Fun Read

A well written book that is a lot of fun to read. Hamish never disappoints with his great intelligence and country ways.

I love this series

I thoroughly enjoyed stepping into Scotland to see what Hamish is up to. I will continue to read the series to see if he ever settles down.

Death of a Bore

The narrator once again does a fine job of bringing Hämisch Macbeth alive for the reader. Another M C Beaton murder mystery with a fine helping of romance and humor.
