Death of a Celebrity
Death of a Celebrity | M. C. Beaton
4 posts | 10 read | 4 to read
From the author of the Agatha Raisin television series...DEATH OF A CELEBRITY: A Hamish Macbeth MysteryMurder on the Telly Lochdubh, a remote village reached only by a one-track lane, nestles serenely amid Scotland's hills...until well-known TV reporter Crystal French races into town in her bright BMW. And Constable Hamish Macbeth, dourly wed to duty instead of the fiancee who dumped him, promptly gives her a summons for reckless driving. Outraged, Crystal makes Macbeth's life a misery with a TV report on policing in the Highlands. When she also rakes up old local scandals for her new hit show, Macbeth notes that someone besides himself might be dead keen to stop her. Then someone does-with stealth and violence. Now, finding out who did it will lead the laconic Macbeth down roads he never envisioned, into a dark story of passion and vengeance...and perhaps a crisis of the heart all his own.

This was a big improvement over the last two audiobooks in the Hamish Macbeth series. I still miss the old narrator but I‘m getting used to the new one. I‘d highly recommend this and the Agatha Raisin series to anyone who likes cozy murder mysteries, and the books aren‘t super long. 4⭐️

This book actually focuses more on the mystery than on the villagers and Hamish‘s non-existent love life. I still have issues with the portrayal of women, but I also like the humor in these books. #cozyinthesun @Librarybelle @ferskner

Librarybelle I completely agree! 5y
ferskner I'm glad they're growing on you! 5y
KathyWheeler @ferskner I generally think these books are funny but I‘d like them so much more if they came without the misogyny. 5y
ferskner There are sooooooooooo many things where that's the case. Sigh. 5y
KathyWheeler @ferskner Yep.😞 What especially annoys me with the misogyny in these books is that Beaton is a woman. (edited) 5y

Another fantastic title in the Hamish Macbeth murder mysteries series! M.C Beaton definitely knows how to make one chuckle even when writing about murders!

I have put book 2 in the #4in48 Readathon to the side (Zoo by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge), whilst I pick up this physical book which hopefully will become book 3. Love visiting Hamish! I am 26% through Zoo, which I am doing as an audiobook.
