Death of a Liar by M.C. Beaton
4.0
M.C. Beaton's Hamish Macbeth series is one of my favorites, and her latest book does not disappoint. The charm of these books is not the mystery itself, but Hamish and his relationships; particularly with the people of Lochdubh. Death of a Liar focuses on Hamish and the police force for the most part, with a little Lochdubh sprinkled here and there throughout. As always, Detective Chief Inspector Blair is out to steal the spotlight from Hamish, while Hamish just wants to be left alone to his small village.
As a fan of the series, I enjoyed this book. The author brings many old favorites back for guest appearances throughout the story. I think a new reader will like the story, but may wonder why these minor characters pop in and out of chapters so quickly, when they are not necessarily related to the mystery plot.
Many, many thanks to the Goodreads first reads program for providing me with this advanced readers copy.
