Death of a Dentist Summary
|
In Scotland, where thrift and a "nice set of dentures" are admired, Dr.Frederick Gilchrist's cheap rates and penchant for pulling teeth have gained him a clientele. However, wiser Highlanders -- like Lockdubh policeman Hamish Macbeth -- steer clear of this reputed womanizer's too-busy hands. Only jaw-throbbing agony could drive Macbeth to Gilchrit's surgery. The day it does, the constable stoically prepares to lose his smile. But what he finds is more than one angry husband a possible suspect, Macbeth may be butting off more than he can chew when he starts to extract clues... and uncovers a past as dangerous as it is shocking.
HAVE A HIGHLAND FLING WITH M. C. BEATON'S HAMISH MACBETH MYSTERIES "Reading Beaton is an experience akin to discovering buried treasure.... An outstanding read from one of the real masters of mystery." "Macbeth's charm continues to grow.... Fun, silly, and as light as a well-made scone -- I wouldn't miss a single book." "Superb entertainment, as rich and warming as fine malt whiskey, and every bit as addictive." "The detective novels of M. C. Beaton, a master of outrageous black comedy ... have reached cult status in the United States." "Hamish is at his charming, exasperating best." "Befuddled, earnest, and utterly endearing, Hamish makes his triumphs sweetly satisfying." "Engrossing, cozy mystery ... with residents and a constable so authentic it won't be long before tourists will be seeking Lochdubh and believing in the reality of Hamish Macbeth as surely as they believed in Sherlock Holmes." "Macbeth is the sort of character who slyly grows on you -- ... as you realize that beneath his unassuming exterior, he's a whiz at cutting through all the hokum." ... |
