Death of a Green-Eyed Monster | M. C. Beaton

pick

This was the first book in the Hamish MacBeth series written by M C Beaton and the new author, R W Green. They worked together on it when M C Beaton was too ill to write it. Reading it I wanted to see if the series, one of my favourites, had the same feel.

Andrew65 The book starts with a new WPC coming to work with Hamish at Lochdubh. In typical Hamish fashion he falls for her in a big way. As it said in the book ‘he was pretty sure she had won his heart already, and he didn‘t mind a bit‘. 2y

Andrew65 However as you are reading you are sitting there reading wondering if she is too good to be true, she even wins the Currie Twins and the rest of the village round to her, and you get the feeling there is some underlying mystery that leaves you feeling uneasy. 2y

Andrew65 Throw into this mix a murder that seems to have some links to the crime syndicates in Glasgow, and Blair who reappears in Lochdubh and still has it in for Hamish in a big way, and you have a great story in the making. 2y

Andrew65 I have to say this story had me totally gripped and I didn‘t want to put it down. It may only be a cosy series but it had me on an emotional rollercoaster and towards the end of the book my heart was beating fast as I read the book with events and how they turned out. 2y

Andrew65 I read it to see if the book had the same feel, but in the end in some ways I felt it had a better feel, especially compared to some of the recent Hamish MacBeth books. Between the two writers they did great justice to the series and if anything this is one of my favourites, if not me favourite, in the series. Yes there were some changes to characters etc, and the feel of the book, but I have to date overall I liked these changes. 2y

Andrew65 It will take something to follow this book. A real shame that M C Beaton has since died (thanks for all the great books) but it looks like she made a good decision on choosing the person to pass the series onto. RIP M C Beaton, and I look forward to reading the next book in this series from the new author. If you can‘t tell this is a strong recommendation for the book. 2y

Andrew65 Thanks to the publisher and Net Galley for a review copy of the book in exchange for a fair, open and honest review. 2y

Andrew65 5th book finished for #FantasticFiction Readathon 2y
