A New York best selling author, M.C. Beaton, continues to create light hearted mysteries that cause me to chuckle out loud.

Hamish Macbeth, is a Scottish policeman, content in his small village with his animals and easy lifestyle.  He solves the homicides and ducks the credit and promotion so he continue to live in his small home with the stuck front door.

Hamish, a old fashioned romantic cop with flaming red hair, also continues in each story to attempt to solve his ongoing bachelorhood but alas he just can’ t get over his true love, Priscilla. No luck there, but he has his dogs, and his freedom.

If you want a light read, with warm characters, humour and a touch of whimsy, enjoy the Hamish Macbeth series – I just finished “Death of A Ghost” but there are many in the series and they are all wonderful.

I love recommending authors whose books lift my spirits, and her books certainly do.
