About this listen

A classic title from M. C. Beaton’s New York Times best-selling Hamish Macbeth series

Peta Gore is the bane of her friend’s otherwise successful life. Maria Worth has come to hate her old friend - a noisy, vulgar glutton. There is no other way to describe Peta. She doesn’t just “have a good appetite” - she sucks and chomps and chews with relish. Not only are her table manners horrifying, but she has a habit of showing up at Maria’s carefully planned singles’ gatherings and spoiling everything by flirting with all the men. This time Maria is determined to keep her latest event a secret.

The gathering is to be at Tommel Castle Hotel in the remote Scottish village of Lochdubh - the perfect setting for a particularly difficult group. Nothing can go wrong. Except that somehow Peta finds out about the gathering and shows up, thoroughly disgusting everyone. Guests and staff band together in mutual loathing. But does someone hate her enough to kill her? When she is found dead, an apple stuck unceremoniously in her mouth, Constable Hamish Macbeth is on the scene. With a castle full of odd suspects, the lazy, long-limbed constable has to put his wooing of the hotel proprietress, Priscilla, on hold to solve the case.

Unfinished romance.

I listened/read all the Agatha Raisin mysteries. Although I realized that Mrs. Chesney uses the same plot or story development in every book I kept on going. Now listening to the Macbeth mysteries, I realize that it is the same style of writing.
I am fed up with the unfinished romances between the two protagonists. The author baiting/taunting the readers to read the next book to see if the said characters get together finally. But no, she keeps them from getting together using silly storylines. First Agatha now Hamish.
I know it will go on like this in every book and hence, I have decided to stop reading/listening her books.

Good story not too deep

I really like the characters, especially quirky stubborn Hamish and Precilla. The narrator was fabulous, all the voices, all the accents.
