Book Reviews of Death of a Gentle Lady (Hamish Macbeth Mysteries, No. 24)
Book Review: Interesting story, but would like to see Hamish get more of a personal life!
Summary: 4 Stars
The 24th installment into the life of Scottish policeman, Hamish Macbeth is presented IN DEATH OF A GENTLE LADY.
Hamish has more than his share of problems in this story. His boss wants to close the small police station in the little town of Lochdubh where Hamish Macbeth is the only policeman! This is a very stressful time and Hamish is also very lonely until he meets a gorgeous Turkish girl who seems to be the proverbial "maiden in distress." The young woman's employer, a Mrs. Gentle, is an elderly lady that most people seem to think is sweet and gentle! However, Hamish takes an instant dislike to her and believes her to be rather nasty. His old love, the beautiful, Priscilla always seems to come back into his life at the worst of times and he realizes that he is never over his feelings for her!
Deception, a murder or two, betrayal and a lot of misunderstanding is always a part of the life of Hamish Macbeth. I enjoyed the story, but I think, I'm about ready for Hamish to solve his love life once and for all! Maybe in book number 25?

Summary of Death of a Gentle Lady (Hamish Macbeth Mysteries, No. 24)
Gentle by name, gentle by nature. Everyone in the sleepy Scottish town of Lochdubh adores elderly Mrs. Gentle--everyone but Hamish Macbeth, that is. Hamish thinks the gentle lady is quite sly and vicious, and the citizens of Lochdubh think he is overly cranky. Perhaps it's time for him to get married, they say. But who has time for marriage when there's a murder to be solved? When Mrs. Gentle dies under mysterious circumstances, the town is shocked and outraged. Chief Detective Inspector Blair suspects members of her family, but Hamish Macbeth thinks there's more to the story, and begins investigating the truth behind this lady's gentle exterior.Presented unabridged on 5 CDs.
