BOOK REVIEW

Title: Death of a Dreamer

Author: M.C. Beaton

In ten words or less: Visitors to remote Scottish village cause problems for local constable.

Review: In this cozy mystery, Constable Hamish MacBeth eyes the newcomers to Lochdubh with suspicion. Most of them don't last a winter in the remote highland village. But Effie Garrard is staying around, and notices Jock Fleming, a painter who has just arrived, to the delight of the local ladies.
The colorful local characters, gentle humor, and the appeal of the unambitious MacBeth make this a treat of a mystery.

Why bother? Twenty-first in a series. Once you start, you can't stop.
