Death of a Green-Eyed Monster

fullDescription

Sergeant Hamish Macbeth—Scotland's most quick-witted but unambitious policeman—is back and may have finally met the woman of his dreams in this new mystery in M.C. Beaton's beloved, New York Times bestselling series.
Hamish's new constable, Dorothy McIver, may be the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. Completely bewitched by her sparkling blue eyes, Hamish spends the summer traveling with her up and down Sutherland until finally, he can take it no longer. He gets down on one knee beside the Land Rover and begs her to marry him—and to his amazement and delight, she says yes.
But just as the town of Lochdubh gets ready to celebrate, Hamish finds himself with a new murder on his hands. If he doesn't find the killer fast, Hamish's dream wedding could become a nightmare.

     December 20, 2021
     The lackluster 35th mystery featuring Sgt. Hamish Macbeth (after 2018’s Death of an Honest Man), a collaboration between Beaton (1936–2019) and Green, opens with the arrival of Macbeth’s new constable, the stunning Dorothy McIver, who is as bright as she is beautiful, to the Scottish village of Lockdubh. Of course, Macbeth instantly falls head over heels for her and soon sees a wedding in their future. Dorothy proves to be the perfect professional partner, and her insight into the criminal mind comes in handy when a stranger to the area is found dead in his car with a bullet hole in his head. Gangsters from Glasgow, bent coppers, and some decorous courting keep Macbeth and Dorothy busy. But without humor to buoy the outlandish plot, the story becomes a tiresome muddle. In the foreword, in which Green shares his memories of assisting Beaton in her final years, he says she “wanted to provide her readers with some gentle escapism for a rainy afternoon read.” This entry doesn’t quite attain that modest goal.

     Starred review from January 7, 2022
     

     In the 34th mystery starring Highlands bobby Hamish Macbeth (after Death of an Honest Man), Hamish is engaged to the lovely Dorothy McIverir, his new constable, and all eyes are on the impending nuptials. The celebratory mood vanishes when a man is found shot, execution style, in Hamish's bucolic village of Lochdubh. It quickly emerges that the victim had ties to the notorious Macgregor crime family in Glasgow. Just as Hamish and Dorothy begin their investigation, Hamish's bent and odious nemesis, Detective Chief Inspector Blair, returns to the village wreaking havoc. The tension escalates when Hamish realizes that Dorothy's vagaries about her past may well be connected to the murder inquiry causing him to question who exactly the future Mrs. Macbeth is. Beaton, the grand dame of the cozy mystery genre, passed away in late 2019. Beaton chose her friend and fellow writer Green to continue her Hamish Macbeth and Agatha Raisin mystery series (most recently, Green wrote the Agatha Raisin installment Down the Hatch), and he delivers the charge most admirably. This Hamish Macbeth novel maintains Beaton's distinctive voice and includes the usual village eccentrics, loads of Scottish lore, and the light humor that Beaton fans have loved through the years. Most important, the book ends with a teaser that seems to promise more and even wilder adventures for Hamish. VERDICT A definite purchase for all mystery collections.--Amy Nolan

     December 15, 2021
     Veteran storyteller Beaton may be gone, but her beloved Highlands policeman lives on in another tale of murder and thwarted romance, now written by Green. Gifted crime solver Hamish Macbeth's desire to stay in Lochdubh has kept him from advancing up the ranks. He can hardly believe his eyes when the new constable sent to work with him is stunningly beautiful Dorothy McIver. Hamish has been engaged twice before, but this time he falls head over heels for Dorothy, who he's convinced is his soul mate even though his wild pet cat, Sonsie, doesn't take to her. Dorothy, a Glasgow girl with expensive tastes, slowly warms to the beauty of the Highlands and charms the villagers who've thrown a protective cordon around Hamish. After a man is found shot dead in his car at the local petrol station, the crime team arrives within hours, with Hamish's good friend DCI Jimmy Anderson in charge. The victim was a gangster involved with the infamous Macgregor crime family in Glasgow, a development that unfortunately involves Hamish's nemesis, the nasty, inept DCI Blair, in the investigation. Jimmy wants Hamish to lie low and solve the crime without taking the credit. That's fine with Hamish if it can be arranged. But can it? Soon more mayhem comes to Lochdubh, suggesting that Dorothy may be hiding secrets from her past. Can Hamish solve the crimes and get as far as the marital altar this time? As usual in this venerable series, the appeal of the characters and the Highlands upstages the slight mystery.

     Starred review from January 1, 2022
     In this thirty-sixth Hamish Macbeth mystery since Beaton launched the series in 1985, everything is going swimmingly for Sergeant Macbeth, who wants nothing more than to stay in his tiny cottage in the village of Lochdubh in the Highlands, tending chickens and sheep and solving the occasional crime. His nemesis, the sadistic Detective Chief Inspector Blair, has been removed to Glasgow, and Macbeth has fallen head over heels for Dorothy McIver, the new constable assigned to him. But trouble comes roaring into town off the North Coast 500 highway when a Glasgow man is found shot through the head in his car at the local petrol station. Murder, attempted murder, and arson follow, all spanning from a powerful Glasgow crime family expanding north. The fact that Macbeth has a new recruit makes for some terrific comic moments (reminiscent of All Creatures Great and Small) as Macbeth introduces Dorothy to the somewhat loony locals. It also expands the reader's world beyond Lochdubh to all around the Highlands, as Macbeth and Dorothy explore castles, lochs, and mountains. In a foreword, writer R. W. Green explains how he collaborated with Beaton on this book before her death in 2019; he indicates that Beaton left him (and fans) with more ideas for the series. Long live Macbeth, Sergeant of Scotland!

   • content: Narrator Graeme Maclolm returns to portray Hamish MacBeth and the residents of Lochdubh, Scotland, in the 34th addition to this beloved series. While M.C. Beaton passed away in 2019, fellow author R.W. Green worked with her on this installment. Malcolm performs with a light Scottish brogue, making the dialogue and action easy to follow. Using tone and accents, he differentiates characters, including an American visitor. MacBeth has found his true love (for the third time) in a female constable and plans to tie the knot. Malcom delivers this character-driven police procedural at a slow, relaxed pace that is in step with the overall atmosphere. Fans will be delighted to go along for the plot's ups and downs and the descriptions of the Scottish Highlands. E.Q. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
