DEATH OF YESTERDAY

Constable Hamish Macbeth is back, and this time the body count is higher than usual. Fortunately, the charm and humor of this Scottish cozy series continue with the zany locals all accounted for! Narrator Graeme Malcolm energetically captures multiple accents--whether thick burr or melodious lilt. The countless suspects and many victims add to the action and ensuing confusion. The most fun is Hamish's sergeant, who keeps the police house and pets in fine mettle; his voice and priceless comments are highlights as presented by Malcolm. As usual, true love continues to elude poor Hamish, so he (and we) must look to the future for another opportunity. Rest assured, despite all of the action, tranquility returns to the village of Strathbane. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2013]
