An untimely death wipes the smile from Hamish’s face . . .
In Scotland, where thrift and a ‘nice set of dentures’ are generally admired, Dr Frederick Gilchrist’s cheap rates and penchant for pulling teeth have gained him quite a clientele. However, wiser Highlanders – like Hamish Macbeth – opt to steer clear of this reputed womanizer’s all-too-busy hands. Only jaw-throbbing agony drives Hamish to Gilchrist’s surgery, but what he finds there is the dentist’s dead body – putting several angry husbands in the frame for murder . . .

A gem of a book, a gem of a plot, a gem of a hero.
The much-love Hamish Macbeth series . . . a beguiling blend of wry humour and sharp observations about rural life.
Splendid fun.
