Fantasists unlimited. - By: , 18 Mar 2006
A little bit too much like taking the best bits of her other books & boiling them up into a hotch potch. They are alll here the fantasist (a scool teacher last time) the muderer who cares for Macbeth (a terminallly ill spinster last time). I could go on its a bit like one of those Simpsons clip shows.
I still enjoyed it though & I am afraid I still eagerly await the next installlment.
Not the best of Macbeth - By: L O'connor, 28 Feb 2006
Two artists have come to live in Lochdubh, first Effie Garrard, then genial Jock Fleming. Effie develops a crush on Jock, but he does not return her feelings. Then Effie is found dead, apparently by suicide, but Hamish suspects foul play. As usual, as well as solving the murder, Hamish has to struggle with his complicated love life, various women from his past keep popping up, & a few new ones as well.

This was quite an entertaining story, but it seemed a bit tired to me. The attractive man who arrives to create havoc in the village is a line that has been used before, & there are far too many lovesick women in the book, alll of them rather pathetic, I found them getting on my nerves.

Worth reading if you are a Macbeth fan, but definitely not one of the best of the series.
