Death of a Macho Man

The Hamish Macbeth Mysteries, Book 12

By: M. C. Beaton

Narrated by: Shaun Grindell

If you haven’t already fallen in love with this internationally acclaimed series by M. C. Beaton, then this cunningly crafted mystery will do the trick. Loaded with authentic Scots dialog vivid enough to make you smell the heather-scented air, Death of a Macho Man is Beaton at her best.

Hamish Macbeth - Lochdubh’s one-man police force - has suddenly become a prime murder suspect when a belligerent newcomer turns up dead. To save his career, Macbeth must delve into this Macho Man’s unsavory past.

Suddenly, suspects are everywhere: a salty fisherman, a reclusive romance writer, a respectable matron, a restaurateur's wife, and even Hamish’s ex-fiancee, Priscilla Halburton-Smythe, and her newest boyfriend.

Fast-paced and loaded with quirky characters, Death of a Macho Man enhances Beaton’s glowing reputation.

Enjoyed

I truly enjoyed this Hamish Macbeth book. It was a good feel good listen when I was cooking and later having a glass of wine 🍷!

Excellent story and narration

One of Beaton’s best. Exceptionally written and well done. Such a tale! I love her satire and no one is exempt from her pen, from over zealous preachers, politicians, cops, kids, old people, to the far left or right. She spares no one she has a real beef with the overweight and equally the boney “never too thin”minded. I mostly enjoy her lack of PC musings. Most entertaining! May she RIP she will be missed. Narrator is very good.

A Light Read in These Heavy Times

Lately I’ve tried to find books that were light hearted to keep my mind off todays headlines. This story was just what I needed. The writer described the Highlands beautifully and the reader brought it home. I enjoyed the characters and the ending left me wanting more.

Very Good

Spent the entire afternoon engrossed in the storyline and when finished, it left me smiling and looking forward to the next book in the Hamish Macbeth series. I am hooked!

Another Great Hamish Story from M.C. Beaton

Great story, great narration! Going to read them all! Also love her Agatha Raisin mysteries!
