Death of a Groom

De: M. C. Beaton

Narrado por: David Monteath

Sergeant Hamish Macbeth returns to protect his sleepy Scottish village of Lochdubh in the latest mystery in M.C. Beaton’s beloved, New York Times bestselling series.

It is February and the Scottish Highlands village of Lochdubh is dealing with heavy snow and freezing temperatures. Sergeant Hamish Macbeth can handle the weather, but with a surprise influx of high-society visitors for a Valentine's Day wedding at Tommel Castle Hotel, he has bigger problems.

The guest list includes not one, but two women from his own romantic past! And Hamish isn't the only one disrupted by the arrival of the wedding party. The groom—the supposedly suave and sophisticated Darius Palmerston—is involved in a series of incidents in the local pub. Tensions between guests and villagers escalate until, shortly after the lavish wedding ceremony, a body is found in the hotel dining room.

The gruesome killing means Hamish suddenly has a murder investigation on his hands, one with a very long list of suspects.

Loved It!!!

I am really enjoyed Death of a Groom. R.W. Green did a great job in the unfolding of this mystery. Well done!

Wonderful!

I love your writing. You have done M.C. Beaton proud. Thank you for continuing her series. ❤️

Another winner!

Another very good Hamish book. I can appreciate the updated description of Priscillas hair, a blonde bob instead of the tired, "Bell". The narration is good except he has always, to me, made Hamish sound like an older man with a slightly more growling voice. Overall, an all-around winner!

Good Storyline

I enjoyed this story from beginning to end. I also appreciated getting a little more insight into Claire’s personally. And although Anthony Ferguson was my favorite narrator, I feel that David Monteath did a fine job.

Bad narrator Decent story

This book was an improvement over some of the recent Macbeth books but poor Hamish sounds like a middle-aged school teacher. The story went well but the characters need fleshing. Who is Claire? I have no picture of her at all. While the previous author went too far in emoting, there are no internal feelings in Greens portrayals. But please. A new Narrator that sounds masculine in the male roles.
