Death of a Gossip
When society widow and gossip columnist Lady Jane Winters joined the fishing class, she wasted no time in ruffling the feathers—or was it the fins?—of those around her. Among the victims of her sharp tongue and unladylike manner was Lochdubh Constable Hamish Macbeth. Yet not even Hamish thought someone would permanently silence Lady Jane's shrills—until her strangled body is fished out of the river. Now with the help of the lovely Priscilla Halburton-Smythe, Hamish must angle through the choppy waters of the tattler's life to find the murderer. But with a school of suspects who aren't ready to talk and dead women telling no tales, Hamish may be in over his head, for he knows that secrets are dangerous, knowledge is power, and killers usually do strike again.
Death of a Cad
When Priscilla Halburton-Smythe brings her London playwright fiancé home to Lochdubh, everybody in town is delighted…except for love-smitten Constable Hamish Macbeth. Yet his affairs of the heart will have to wait. Vile, boorish Captain Bartlett, one of the guests at Priscilla's engagement party, has just been found murdered—shot while on a grouse hunt. Now with many titled party guests as the prime suspects, each with a reason for snuffing out the despicable captain, Hamish must smooth ruffled feathers as he investigates the case. When the hidden culprit strikes again, Hamish will find himself trying to save Priscilla from a miserable marriage—and catch a killer before he flies the coop.

Spring, 1918. The Great War is at a crucial stage, the Germans are making one last push into France, and the Allies are struggling to hold them back. Battle lines are shifting, and men, and their machines, are being sent up and down the front to shore up defenses. Major Heathcliff Lennox, and his batman Greggs, are told to report to their new HQ. They set off on a sunlit day to fly the distance, but the enemy is never far away, and disaster strikes. They're sent crashing to the ground behind enemy lines, where life, death, and love await.

Life is not easy for the poor relations of England’s upper crust, but fate and clever schemes bring them together. Lady Fortescue and Colonel Sandhurst hatch a plan: What if they were to transform her decrepit Bond Street home into a posh hotel, offering their guests the pleasure of being waited upon by nobility? With the help of other down-and-out aristocrats, they do just that, and London’s newest hotel, The Poor Relation, is born. The establishment is an immediate hit with London’s most illustrious citizens, save the Duke of Rowcester....

What a character!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
A person could possibly not like Hamish Macbeth, but then, what the heck would they be reading books for anyway? It's not their thing. If you love character and personality, these books are loaded with it all around, and starting from the beginning of the series is a very good idea.

Love Hamish
Love the straight forward comments of the constable. Priscilla is a bit too naïve for my taste but you can’t have everything.

The most improbable hero!
Hamish is seen as stupid and lazy, but he is far from that. He stands in the background and watches and thinks, and ask the right questions. He offends the upper class easily. But he gets the job done. The narrator is wonderful with different accents. The early stories are not as refined as the later ones, but they are fun.

Where have I been? I have just gotten into MC Beaton due to the Agatha Raisin on Acorn. What a fun listen! Hamish is funny and a typical - MC Beaton keeps him real.

Really enjoying the book series
Book 1 I struggled through so I went back and read the reviews and decided to give Book 2 a chance. So glad I did. Especially the ending.

Nice, easy read
This series is a little edgier than others I have read in this genre. I like how the story has its main thread, but there are several sub-plots going on at the same time. It's shocking to me how women wrre, and still are, treated. Nice performance, good story . Definitely worth the credit.

Highly Entertaining
I had never heard of the "Hamish Macbeth Mysteries" before but now that I have I am a fan. These stories are exactly what I like about cozy mysteries. They are like comfort food. Per usual we have some charming characters and not so charming characters and that small village feeling where everyone knows everyone and their business. Or so we think until secrets start to spill out.
These two books have me wanting more and I will certainly following up with book number 3, "Death of an Outsider". I will certainly be recommending this book to anyone who asks about a good cozy mystery.
