Reviews

Beaton, a Scot herself, excels at giving readers a taste of Highland life and creating a believable character in the lonely, brilliant, continually frustrated-in-love Macbeth. Booklist An enchanting series...M.C. Beaton has a foolproof plot for the village mystery. New York Times Book Review Recommended for all mystery collections. Library Journal Superb entertainment, as rich and warming as a fine malt whisky, and every bit as addictive Houston Chronicle
