Twenty-seventh book of the Hamish Macbeth series - Scottish Highlands.

Hamish is a tall skinny man who loves fishing, animals and the Highlands. He has a real "wildcat" and an ugly dog with blue eyes. He loves the ladies, and the author will not permit his relationship with the character she gave him to love, to progress. He is macho. Besides murderers, his chief antagonist is another copper and minor complaints come from the villagers who say he's a moocher and lazy. This first book in the series is a good one.

One more to go, then I'm done with what Beaton has written as far as this character goes...

Book 89 of 2012
(Beaton books are usually 200-250 pp in length so it's easy to rack up a pile)
