The third book in the much-loved Hamish Macbeth series from the author of the bestselling Agatha Raisin series

The most hated man in the most dour town in Scotland is sleeping with the fishes, orâ??more accuratelyâ??has been dumped into a tank filled with crustaceans.

I had a little more trouble getting into this one than some of the others. The town where Hamish was temporarily transferred was indeed claustrophobic and depressing.

But that was the main point about the village of Cnothan.

Plus this featured one of the most unusual murders I’ve ever read about. Ha.

On to the next one! ( )

In order to keep to the trend, I’ve gone backwards instead of forwards with this series. I completed book 4 recently, and then decided to read book 3. I know, I’m crazy to go backwards, but it really was not an issue as this book was not set in the same town. Worked out perfectly for me.

Hamish is set to another town to fill in while the regular police officer had a well deserved holiday. But, of course, things go wrong as soon as Hamish turns up. Yet, there is a upturn of events for Hamish in other areas (wink, wink, say no more).

This storyline was a little more twisted, and I didn’t like the townspeople much. I don’t have much more to say other than I would read more books in the series. ( )

This book just flew by! Shaun Grindell was a new narrator for the Hamish Macbeth for me. I think I prefer Grahame Malcolm, but Mr Grindell did a fine job. Great accent! A nice cozy read. Typical Hamish Macbeth. ( )

I so enjoy this series. It has a good murder mystery a little romance and a few good laughs. Best of all who can resist a Highland Bobby. ( )

(From Death of an Outsider p 1)

See, the happy moron,
He doesn't give a damn,
I wish I were a moron,
My God! perhaps I am!

      -Anonymous
(From Death of an Outsider p 19)

There's one parish church for all the people,
whatsoever may be their ranks in life or their degrees,
Except for one damp, small, dark, freezing cold,
little Methodist chapel of ease,
And close by the churchyard there's a stonemason's
yard, that when the time os seasonable.
Will furnish with afflictions sore and marble urns
and cherubim's very low and reasonable.

How beastly the bourgeois is
especially the male of the species-

Ah! Who has seen the mailed lobster rise.

Constable Hamish Macbeth sat in the small country bus that was bearing him away from Lochdubh -- away from the west coast of Sutherland, away from his police-station home.
