review 1: I really enjoy the Hamish Macbeth mysteries and found this to be one of the better ones. I must say that a lot happens in and around the tiny towns in northwest Scotland! These characters were intriguing, especially the brother and sister. Hamish always amazes me the way some small thing seems not right to him and following up on his hunch helps him unravel a large portion of the story - and, of course, he never gives up.
review 2: I read MC Beaton now and then, and sometimes the story is interesting. This story about a Highlands village has interesting characters, but the ending leaves too many loose ends. In the novel, MacBeth constantly talks of tying up loose ends, and then the novel leaves a huge loose end in the form of the two children. Hamish always ... moreseems to have women flirting with him and his worker, Dick, always needs to eat. Some of the upper management of the police force seems unsavory. The language, which follows the Highland vernacular, presents a problem, at times. This is not one of my more favorite mystery series. less
