Review: Death of an Outsider

Death of an Outsider by M.C. Beaton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Great Read

Actual Rating: 3.75

This was an enjoyable read. This is the third book of the Hamish Macbeth series. In this book, our police constable, Hamish Macbeth, is temporarily assigned to the town of Cnothan, where their only cop is on vacation. Exiled to the new town with his dog, he has to figure out who killed the most hated man in the village. I thought the idea of having a cozy mystery with a male character was also something different for me. I thought Hamish was a great character. He is mysterious, but I am enjoying his character more in this book. I think his character makes the story fun and exciting. He is described as bumbling, and lazy. However, as I kept reading, I thought he was observant and skilled at his job. I thought this is a great addition to my first cozy mystery with a male main character. The ending was great. I am looking forward to see how the series goes. I am excited to read book 4. Death of a Perfect Wife, here I come. Overall, a great read.
