The villagers do an all too good job of “keeping themselves to themselves” in the face of outside intrusion. This relatively unpopulated portion of the Scottish Highland couldn’t afford to lose as many locals as generally get killed off in the course of one of the books.Īlso, most of the action in this one takes place in the nearby village of Cnothan, a place that Hamish has never liked and has never seemed welcoming to anyone at all. That someone is inevitably an outsider to Lochdubh or at least to Sutherland. At least in small doses.Īt the beginning of each story, someone dies. It’s been a while (see review of Death of a Kingfisher, here) since I read one of the Hamish Macbeth series, and I had forgotten how much fun they are. In past amorous attentions and police politics lie answers. In Cnothan, “sour locals” take “pride in keeping themselves to themselves”, to keep their jobs at the Gilchrist dress factory. Scottish Highland Sergeant Hamish Macbeth disbelieves summer student Morag – she lost memories of her pub night and sketchbook – until she turns up dead.
