Death of a Celebrity by M.C. Beaton Mysterious Press, January, 2002. Hardcover, 259 pages. ISBN: 0892966769 Ordering information: Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk 
Constable Hamish Macbeth is determined to resist
promotion, in order to remain the town constable of
the Scottish town of Lochdubh. But when a murder
occurs sometimes Hamish regrets his decision, because the
CID promptly takes over any interesting case, relegating
the unfortunate Hamish to the background. When the
local tv station decides it needs a ratings boost, it
hires barracuda newswoman Crystal French, whose
specialty is humiliating villagers on her show.
Naturally, Crystal gets murdered, and Hamish is
determined to find the killer. There are any number
of suspects to vet, but Hamish gets some help -- and
more than a little aggravation -- from local reporter
Elspeth Grant.
A trip to Lochdubh is a cozy treat that is best enjoyed with a hot cup of Earl Grey tea at your side. M. C. Beaton presents a delightful village mystery, with eccentric characters, beautiful scenery and, of course, the long-suffering Hamish who's most faithful companion is his dog, Lugs. Beaton does a wonderful job of portraying the charm of a Scottish village in this excellent addition to the popular series. Reprinted with permission from The Internet Writing Journal®.
