Summary
Sergeant Hamish Macbeth - Scotland's most quick-witted but unambitious policeman - returns in M. C. Beaton's new mystery in her New York Times best-selling series.
Nobody loves an honest man, or that was what police sergeant Hamish Macbeth tried to tell newcomer Paul English.
Paul attended church in Lochdubh. He told the minister, Mr. Wellington, that his sermons were boring. He told tweedy Mrs. Wellington that she was too fat. Angela Brody was told her detective stories were pap for the masses and it was time she wrote literature instead. He accused Hamish of having dyed his fiery red hair. He told Jessie Currie - who repeated all the last words of her twin sister - that she needed psychiatric help.
"I speak as I find", he bragged. Voices saying, "I could kill that man" could be heard from Lochdubh to Cnothan.
And someone did.
Now Hamish is faced with a bewildering array of suspects. And he's lost the services of his clumsy policeman, Charlie, who has resigned from the force after throwing Chief Inspector Blair into the loch. Can Hamish find the killer on his own?

Not sure if I started too late or they’re all this bad!
I really love MC Beatons other books so thought I’d try the hamish macbeth ones. I’m really glad it was on one of the daily specials as even £1.99 was too much for this one. Cardboard characters, bizarre stories. Just couldn’t buy into it at all.

Ok
I did enjoy this book but did find it somewhat disjointed and confusing. The narration is excellent which is probably what kept me going with the story.

Death of an honest man
A very complicated story. I didn't like it as much as the earlier stories about Hamish macbeth.

Death of an Honest Man
A great story and performance as always.
The only problem is that I’ll have to wait 12 months for the next one.

Gentle Scottish mystery
This is a fun read of a great Scottish policeman with a great name Hamish Macbeth . A pleasant listen with a simple mystery and a lot of very interesting characters in a rural idyll. Not taxing just enjoyable.
