Death of a Policeman: A Hamish Macbeth Mystery

Local police stations all over the Scottish Highlands are being threatened with closure. This presents the perfect opportunity for Detective Chief Inspector Blair, who would love nothing more than to get rid of Sergeant Hamish Macbeth. Blair suggests that Cyril Sessions, a keen young police officer, visit the town of Lochdubh to monitor exactly what Macbeth does every day. Macbeth hears about Blair's plan and is prepared to insure that Cyril returns back to headquarters with a full report. But Cyril is soon found dead and Hamish quickly becomes the prime suspect in his murder.

Critic reviews

"Series fans will welcome another visit to Lochdubh...charming and tenacious."—Library Journal

Story good, but…

Lose the music and background bits! Great for movies, but not for audio books!!! Please!!!

Sounds effects - a nice addition

At first I HATED the sound effects but soon found They faded into the background as was a very soft enhancement.

As usual, the story and characters were engrossing. I love Beatons development of her characters

Background music is a nuisance

For some reason, the producers felt the need to include a classical type of music at random points of the book. It’s very distracting and irritating. The narrator is very good and my favorite actually. But I will be returning this book because of the irritating music. If I have an option to get this book without the music I would get it instead even with an inferior narrator. Removing the music would be an easy fix.

Annoying background music

This story With background music is very annoying. This story is otherwise decent. Hope the other stories don’t hav have this music.

Music

Good story and narration. Terrible music background!!! Greatly reduced the quality and enjoyment of the production.
