5.0 out of 5 stars Another Home-Run for Beaton!, 10 Jun 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Death of a Dentist (Hamish Macbeth Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)

This latest installment of M.C. Beaton's Hamish MacBeth series our hero suffers, perseveres and triumphs in his usual hysterical fashion. Set against the backdrop of the Scottish Lochdub, Hamish's perils begin with a woeful toothache and a lonesome heart. Beaton has brought back our hero, the hated Blair, the lazy Anderson and all the quirks of a quiet Scottish village. This time Hamish has a myriad of surprises to contend with. But he does it in rare fashion and without his beloved Priscilla! Always delightful, intriguing and easy to read, with Death of a Dentist Beaton has managed to combine humor, love and angst, thrills, spills and chills!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best of a great series, 22 Sep 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Death of a Dentist (Hamish Macbeth Mystery) (Hardcover)

Beaton has outdone herself in this latest of a marvelous series of Hamish Macbeth mysteries. Her characters leap off the page, the atmosphere is vivid, and her prose has reached new heights. I re-read the sentence about "Duty" about forty times. It belongs in Bartlett's. Irrespective of the plot, which is a good one, this is just a plain old-fashioned darn good read from end to end. Bravo!

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting characters and good story, 30 Jan 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Death of a Dentist (Hamish Macbeth Mystery) (Hardcover)

MC Beaton has created a successful formula for writing detective stories. The main character, Hamish is lovable, the local life (rural Scotland) is interesting, and the murder, itself, is revealed in an interesting manner known as the police procedural. All the stories of this series are worth reading but they are a little too short, require a small dose of incredulity, and could use a little more development. MC Beaton writes to a formula for her MacBeth and Raison stories. The real mystery is who is MC Beaton--she has over 7 pseudonyms by my count.
