VerkdetaljerDeath of a Dentist av M. C. Beaton (1997)
Ingen. This is a slightly less than average Macbeth yarn.Hamish has developed terrible toothache and makes an appointment with 'butcher' Gilchrist,the tooth-puller from nearby Braikie. When he arrives,it is to find the dentist dead in his own chair,with all his own teeth filled. Quite why this teeth filling has happened,we never in fact really find out. There is much about Highland infidelity and our tame policeman is subjected to a vicious attack and nearly loses his life in the line of duty. (  ) devenish | Mar 13, 2013 |  Hamish Macbeth is an odd duck. Self-proclaimed as "unambitious", he likes his quiet life in Lockdubh but no one seems particularly fond of him. He has no desire to move up in law enforcement but he also feels compelled to investigate thoroughly, even when his actions will anger his superiors. The motive in this particular murder of a bad dentist is not supported well and the ending is too convenient. (  ) bookappeal | May 13, 2012 | http://www.cozylittlebookjournal.com/2006/06/death-of-dentist-by-mc-beaton.html This one was actually really good. As always, the sexism never fails to amaze me, but the plot twists were quite enjoyable. (  ) CozyBookJournal | Apr 13, 2012 | Hamish MacBeth #13 set in the Scottish highlands in the fictional village of Lochdubh. Hamish wakes up with a toothache—owwwwww!—and makes an appointment with a dentist in a village a few miles away rather than drive all the way to Strathbane. He ends up canceling the appointment because it feels better later in the day after a shot of antibiotic and some aspirin from the local doctor, but when the pain returns he reschedules it despite hearing some unsettling rumors about the dentist. However, when he arrives at the dentist’s office, he finds Dr. Gilchrist dead in his own dentist’s chair, almost certainly murdered, and as usual, suspects start crawling out of the woodwork. I really really enjoyed this installment of Hamish, maybe because I had taken several months off from reading one. Or maybe because the cozy, cup-o-tea and scones read was just what I needed after reading/listening to two rather violent and bleak books! At any rate, it was one of those reads you finish and give a big sigh of contentment, even knowing that, yeah—it’s rather cheesy and not a very realistic rendition of life. (  ) Spuddie | Oct 2, 2008 | Murder mystery that is part of a series that runs too long for my taste. The plot of this one is clever.
