Death of a Traitor (Hamish Macbeth)

Product Information

I still regret the state in which one of my favorite characters , Peter McGarr was left when his author, Bartholomew Gill, died suddenly.

Gregor hated Hibbert but, while she never claimed they were the best of friends, Clara tolerated her at first. In Death of a Traitor, “traitors” come in various forms, real or perceived, and play a key role in the crime, the enquiry, the red herrings, and several interpersonal relationships. As a long time reader of the series, I miss the light charm that used to fill a Hamish Macbeth book, which I read for fun and light entertainment. C. Beaton, hailed as the "Queen of Crime" by the Globe and Mail, was the author of the New York Times and USA Today bestselling Agatha Raisin novels—the basis for the hit series on Acorn TV and public television—as well as the Hamish Macbeth series.Making his way down the slope, he took a look behind the mound that had obscured his view only to find the track deserted.

Recently acquired by Little, Brown Book Group, Constable publishes a diverse range of bestselling fiction and non-fiction titles.He is wary when he is teamed up with DC David Forbes, but eventually finds him to be a valuable asset. I think Green did a fairly good job of keeping Beaton's characters "in character" but he made everything too easy. I have listened to and loved every single Hamish Macbeth book over the years, and it is wonderful that the series lives on, beyond the sad death of its creator. Torn between loyalty to Lochdubh and his job, Hamish begins threading his way through a maze of deceit, quickly finding himself on the trail of a ruthless, treacherous murderer. Using clues and evidence he removed from crime scene, Hamish pieces together the case, but not before there are more deaths.

You’ll just have to strap on your favorite kilt and visit scenic Lochdubh to find out exactly what is going on.Gregor Mackenzie gazed out over the hillside above Lochdubh, leaning on his cromach walking staff and admiring his sheep grazing contentedly in the late morning sunshine.
