Synopsis

Sergeant Hamish Macbeth—Scotland's most quick-witted but unambitious policeman—is back and may have finally met the woman of his dreams in this new mystery in M.C. Beaton's beloved, New York Times bestselling series.

Hamish's new constable, Dorothy McIver, may be the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. Completely bewitched by her sparkling blue eyes, Hamish spends the summer traveling with her up and down Sutherland until finally, he can take it no longer. He gets down on one knee beside the Land Rover and begs her to marry him—and to his amazement and delight, she says yes.

But just as the town of Lochdubh gets ready to celebrate, Hamish finds himself with a new murder on his hands. If he doesn't find the killer fast, Hamish's dream wedding could become a nightmare.

Ms. Beaton's death hit me really hard. I have been reading her books since I was a teenager, and discovered the School For Manners, which she wrote as Marion Chesney.

I was so happy to hear that there would be a final book in this series to give it a conclusion. I was so excited when I read the synopsis and how hamish was finally finding his true love but had a few obstacles. Then I read the book and I was devistated by the ending. Although the new writer helped......more

Death of a Green-Eyed Monster Earns 5/5 Highland Hijinx…Compelling! M.C. Beaton passed away in December of 2019, but her image of Hamish Macbeth lives under the pen of R.W. Green, who in Beaton’s final days was able to glean a real sense of the characters, the community, and the style she used to bri......more
