“Beaton’s flawless twenty-first installment in her popular Hamish Macbeth series boasts amusing local color and singularly savvy sleuthing.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Graeme Malcolm gives a nuanced portrayal of diverse characters inhabiting or visiting a remote village in northern Scotland. Various characters stride across the canvas, and Malcolm essays them all, including a grumpy American, and Englishmen and women from down south…The voice and the setting are so compatible that one settles back and enjoys the story, scarcely noticing the narrator’s expertise.” AudioFile
“Part police procedural and part psychological thriller…Beaton, a Scot herself, excels at giving readers a taste of Highland life and creating a believable character in the lonely, brilliant, continually frustrated-in-love Macbeth. A treat.” Booklist (starred review)
“Fans of Hamish will love this combination of mystery and romantic escapades.” Kirkus Reviews
