This is book #3 of the Hamish Macbeth series. Macbeth grows on you and in this book he is exiled with his dog, Towser, to the outpost of Cnothan but he sorely misses his beloved Lochdubb. When the most hated man in the town is missing, Hamish finds him sleeping with the fishes as he was dumped into a tank filled with crustaceans.

EadieB All that remain of the murdered victim are his bones. This is a great book and one that I really enjoyed. It was entertaining and the unique plot kept me reading until the surprise ending. M.C. Beaton has written 33 of these books so I have plenty more to read. If you like characters such as Hamish Macbeth, then you will love these books. 11mo

Fun, light listening on our trip. When an outsider is killed and dumped in a lobster tank, Hamish has to figure out who did it, while, at the same time, avoiding doing anything that might get him noticed and promoted. #cozyinthesun @Librarybelle @ferskner

Librarybelle I enjoy Hamish! 5y

Bookboss I have read quite a few Agatha Raisin titles, but I have not tried Beaton‘s Hamish series. 5y

KathyWheeler @Bookboss While I like Agatha, I like Hamish more. 5y

ferskner Oooo we have a lot of Agatha so far, but no Hamish! Nice choice. 5y

KathyWheeler @ferskner Thanks! 5y

The Hamish Macbeth Mysteries are short, charming who-dunnits that takes place in rural Scotland, and they are such good audiobooks. I can easily listen while driving, cooking or exercising and they provide a very enjoyable distraction!
