Welcome to Litsy!

I would highly recommend the Hamish Macbeth series for anyone who likes cozy mysteries, and the audiobooks are the way to go. The more you read the more you feel like a part of the village of Lochdubh. There are multiple murders in this one and I like the unorthodox ways that Hamish solves crimes. It‘s a fun way to visit Scotland without leaving your home! 4⭐️ #HamishMacbeth #MCBeaton #murdermysteries #cozymysteries #audiobook #Scotland

I do not normally read cozy mysteries, but I just love this series. I‘m pretty sure it‘s because of Hamish and the fact that I can never solve the case before he can!! Going to be a late night. Usually once I start her books I can‘t stop until the end!

Another wonderful murder mystery! 🥰 Lots of gory details 😈
I do hope Hamish finds love one of these days..

This is a decidedly qualified pick. I was always eager to see what wild scenario Hamish would find himself in next as he fought his way through to the solution, but HOLY HELL are there a lot of problematic bits. There's a running gag about domestic abuse, lots of casual misogyny, and a side of, "the poor are such lazy blighters." I found the second half better on that front, but there were still plenty of jarring moments.

Fancy Sunday breakfast. Figured I'd try eggs & hot sauce.

I bought DEATH OF A DENTIST from the library sale a few months back, but my copy's gone on walkabout so I borrowed a digital one. I'm not sure if I like it. Parts are quite charming, but there's a LOT of random misogyny, some of it violent. Like, multiple characters feel that if a robbery suspect isn't beating his wife, he should be.

Yuck.

Another wonderful outing for Hamish Macbeth, with a book that felt it had more depth than some of the earlier ones in the series, partially because the murder happened much earlier in the book. I do love my visits to Lochdubh but I do think MC Beaton needs to sort out Hamish's love life as he doesn't even have Jock to fall back onto now. This series can always help lift me out of a bit of a reading trough, if not a slump! Onwards with the series.

Still in the mood for some light and easy reading on a Sunday afternoon so going to one of my other go to series, Hamish Macbeth! This time reading Death of a Dentist, which is book 13 in the series. Lochdubh always seems such a peaceful place, if you can ignore all the people being murdered around you! 😂
