M C Beaton's Hamish Macbeth books are a delight: clever, intricate and sardonic. The flavour is reminiscent of Compton MacKenzie's <i>Whisky Galore</i> and I'm very glad to own a complete set

The much-loved Hamish Macbeth series... a beguiling blend of wry humour and sharp observations of rural life.
