Publisher's Summary
In Scotland, where thrift and a "nice set of dentures" are generally admired, dental surgeon Dr. Frederick Gilchrist’s cheap rates and penchant for pulling teeth have gained him a clientele.
However, wiser Highlanders (like Hamish Macbeth) opt to steer clear of this reputed womanizer’s all-too-busy hands. A blinding toothache sends Hamish Macbeth 120 miles out of Lochdubh to the infamous dentist’s door. Unfortunately for Hamish and Gilchrist, someone has canceled all the doctor’s appointments - permanently. Since everyone is pleased the dentist is deceased - patients, several harassed women, and even his wife - Macbeth faces one of the more biting challenges of his career.
A toothache can drive a man mad, and Hamish, with a mouth full of throbbing pain, decides to go after the killer alone.

ok story, but the narration ruined it for me.
I am a HUGE fan of the Hamish Macbeth series. My fav narrator of this series is Graeme Malcolm. But I thought I'd give this title a listen even tho the narrator is Shaun Grindell.
This story was interesting but honestly the Scottish accent, (brogue?) was so exaggerated and cartoonish that I could not finish this book. The characters male voices were so high and ridiculous.
I really wanted to like this book, but I just couldn't.
I recommend all of the books narrated by Graeme Malcolm, his voice is like velvet.
