5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent as Always, 23 Oct 1998
By A Customer
Ms. Beaton writes wonderful cozy Scottish mysteries. Her books are always a pleasure to read, and this one is no exception. Hamish MacBeth, her main character, is bewitchingly appealing, her townspeople deliciously predictable, her conclusions just plain reassuring. Comfort food for the mind.

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 (A 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!

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