Death of a Liar by M.C. Beaton
3.0
Should you read M.C. Beaton’s book Death of a Liar, the 30th book in the Hamish Macbeth series? If you’ve read the other 29, you’ve pretty much already read this one. Nothing new happens, and we see no growth in Hamish. Still, if you’ve stuck with the series this long, you'll probably want to keep up.
If you’ve not read any Hamish Macbeth mysteries before, don’t start with this one. I love the series but it has grown stale. Still, I can’t pass up an evening with our favorite red-haired Highlander. Hope springs eternal that one of the new books will surprise me. This one was marginally better than the last, Death of a Policeman. Less violence anyway.
An aside: it cracks me up how the author tacks on Epilogues with enough content that they could be expanded into their own books if she wanted.
