Local police stations all over the Scottish Highlands are being threatened with closure. This presents the perfect opportunity for Detective Chief Inspector Blair, who would love nothing more than to get rid of Sergeant Hamish Macbeth. Blair suggests that Cyril Sessions, a keen young police officer, visit the town of Lochdubh to monitor exactly what Macbeth does every day.

But Cyril is soon found dead and Hamish quickly becomes the prime suspect in his murder.

When Police Sergeant Hamish Macbeth hears reports of a haunted castle near Drim, he assumes the eerie noises and lights reported by the villagers are just local teenagers going there to smoke pot or, worse, inject themselves with drugs. Still, Hamish decides that he and his policeman, Charlie "Clumsy" Carson, will spend the night at the ruined castle to get to the bottom of the rumors once and for all. There's no sign of any ghost...but then Charlie disappears through the floor. It turns out he's fallen into the cellar. And what Hamish and Charlie find there is worse than a ghost.

She had been out drinking, after all, and he'd prefer not to be bothered with such an arrogant and annoying woman. But when her body is discovered, Hamish is forced to investigate a crime that the only known witness - now dead - had forgotten.

When Scotland is hit by the recession, Police Constable Hamish Macbeth notices that the Highland people are forced to come up with inventive ways to lure tourists to their sleepy towns. The quaint village of Braikie doesn't have much to offer, other than a place of rare beauty called Buchan's Wood, which was bequeathed to the town. The savvy local tourist director renames the woods "The Fairy Glen," and has brochures printed with a beautiful photograph of a kingfisher rising from a pond on the cover. It isn't long before coach tours begin to arrive.

Nobody loves an honest man, or that was what police sergeant Hamish Macbeth tried to tell newcomer Paul English. Paul had moved to a house in Cnothan, a sour village on Hamish's beat. He attended church in Lochdubh. He told the minister, Mr. Wellington, that his sermons were boring. He told tweedy Mrs. Wellington that she was too fat and in these days of increasing obesity it was her duty to show a good example. Angela Brody was told her detective stories were pap for the masses and it was time she wrote literature instead. He accused Hamish of having dyed his fiery red hair.

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.

Hamish Macbeth ambles over to the nearby backwater of Drim, ostensibly to check out a posh English chap who is causing a most unusual problem. Single, wealthy, and terribly attractive, newcomer Peter Hynd has thrown the middle-aged matrons of Drim into a flutter and put their men, dour Highlanders whose feelings run deep, on a slow burn. Hamish’s instincts tell him this seemingly charming young man likes to stir up trouble, and it’s not long before the seething emotions transform the sleepy village into a hotbed of threats, domestic rows, and violent murder.

Great!!!!
I just love this series! Graeme Malcolm narration is perfection. In fact, I am listening to the last few audiobooks in the series with Malcolm as the narrator because after I'm done with those, I'm done with the "Death of....." series. I adore M. C. Beaton's tales of murder and crime in the Scottish Highlands. I love catching up with the wonderful nutty characters and small village life, but I just can't get into any of the other narrators. No disrespect to those narrators. In my opinion, Beaton and Malcolm are an act that is just too hard to follow!

Another great book
I have always loved the highlands hero, Hamish MacBeth and I'm always rooting for him. This is another great book in the long growing series that I hope never dies. This insert in the series has lots of twists and turns that will keep you on the front of your seat, along with visits for Hamish's old and new flames. Overall another great book by MC Beaton.

It's an ok book
I hate to say this as this is my favorite series but this book was ok. I wish I got it on sale. While I will always recommend starting with book 1 & reading them in order, if you're strapped financially but want to continue with the series then skip this one & go ahead. Just know that (SMALL SPOILERS AHEAD):
Hamish's constable retires to start a bakery with a woman named Anka & Hamish discovers his boss Daviat has been blackmailed by a drug boss so that that boss will get protection. Instead of ruining Daviat's career he helps him & keeps it all quiet in return for never shutting down Hamish's police station. These 2 situations will appear in the next book.

Love this series
My only complaint--I wish the books were longer! I hate to see them end.
The narrator is top notch to my American ear--I love the accents of the different characters and I can understand everything they say.
The plots are actually real puzzles to solve--sometimes I get it before the 'reveal' but sometimes there's a neat surprise twist.
Keep them coming!!

I devour the Hamish mysteries like candy!
M.C. Beaton never disappoints. This one is especially good. It has a bit of everything, multiple plot lines, a fox, drugs, a funeral home, a bakery, the highland weather, and of course lots of dead bodies. Only Hamish can put the puzzle all together. Add that to lost loves, engagement rings, and M.C.B's dusting of wicked humor spell hours of enjoyable entertainment. I could not stop listening to this one. It will be a pure treat to see what Hamish is up to next!

Excellent Narration-Graeme Malcolm is THE best!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Excellent story made even better because of the narration. M.C. Beaton's other Hamish Macbeth stories are ONLY good if Graeme Malcolm is the reader. Others don't do justice to the story.

Long live Graeme Malcolm!
Where does Death of a Liar rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Any Hamish MacBeth mystery narrated by Graeme Malcolm always ranks among the best I've listened to so far.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Death of a Liar?
The arrival of a new policeman to room with Hamish just after getting rid of Dick.
What does Graeme Malcolm bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The wonderful accents and emotion.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Yikes! I have no idea.
Any additional comments?
I love listening to this series and worry about the author's age because I I don't want the series to end, at least not until Ms. Beaton finally lets Hamish find true love... besides his cat and dog.

Disappointing
Would you try another book from M. C. Beaton and/or Graeme Malcolm?
Yes! The narration was great-the story wasn't.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
I love the character of Hamish, but the author has apparently decided to leave him in limbo. Nothing changes for Hamish. He cannot find love, his station is always at risk of being closed, and his bosses are awful. I would like some sort of resolution rather than a watered down-reheated character.
What about Graeme Malcolm’s performance did you like?
He did a great job with the variety of voices.
Any additional comments?
This began as a great series-Let Hamish have a life!

This is one of my favorites of the
many Hamish novels. Starts
ominously. rolls along for a while as the author has fun with her characters
and with us. As the finish line looms
the stories fall into place. The end
arrives then thinking it is all over, we are treated to the Real Ending - the author's enjoyment of her vision of her people in thier Highland lives.
