A review by bboduffy
Death of a Hussy by M.C. Beaton
2.0
I grew up reading this series and it has provided a fun, fast, escapist distraction from exam stress. Hamish’s hygge highland adventures acted as an antidote to dystopian nonfiction studies about surveillance capitalism, data privacy, and the challenges of regulating internet technologies.
While the whole series struggles with dated language, it’s more explicit in this book. Hence the two stars for largely two dimensional characters and fatphobia.
I’ll likely return to this series when I need some cozy mystery comfort food later in the term.
