About this listen

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

Believing that someone is trying to murder her, gorgeous Jane Wetherby asks Hamish Macbeth to spend Christmas with her and an exclusive group of friends at her Scottish island health farm. With a cold in his head and no place to go for the holidays, Hamish accepts her invitation. He thinks the lady is a bit daft, but, arriving on the lonely isle of Eileencraig, he feels a prickle of foreboding. The locals are openly threatening; the other guests, especially a terrible snob named Heather Todd, are barely civil. So when Heather meets an untimely end, Hamish knows he doesn't have far to look for the culprit. The only snag in his investigation is that all the guests were in the house when Heather vanished. Now, as mysterious events abound on Eileencraig, Hamish must work through the holiday sniffles to find the killer - or else it will be a very miserable Christmas indeed.

Too formula

I like the premise and characters in this series but this one's plot seemed like a stretch that you would even think it was murder and the characters reactions pretty predictable. The author uses the exact same description and phrase to describe Hamish when he's angry, and this one seems phoned in.

good, but felt incomplete to me

I've read the previous books in this series and now realize that this cop is truly lazy for the most part. The author should really get rid of the romance piece...its frustrating to read. this book I liked but, I feel jipped as it feels so incomplete to not have his work in the solving of the crime even slightly mentioned
