Review: There seems to be a religious revival on Stoyre but none of the villagers are willing to talk about it. Hamish is determined to get to the bottom of it especially after one of the villagers of Lochdubh appears to have been frightened to death when she visits the village. Before the mystery can be solved though there is the strange business of the old people's home, whose owners appear to have a novel way of making money. One of the Lochdubh residents is keen to move in to find out what it going on, but Hamish has doubts about her putting herself in danger. This is one of the most exciting of the Hamish Macbeth stories which I have read so far with some nail biting incidents which could go either way for Hamish towards the end of it. Village life and manipulation of the press are much to the fore in this story with Hamish once again in danger of earning the promotion he does not want. I really enjoyed this book and liked the way the many different characters are portrayed.

Review: Having read all the Macbeth books in order I eagerly await my time off to start the next one. This is one I wish I missed out on. Several sub plots within the main story, sadly all very predictable and if you have read previous Macbeth books you'll have no problem predicting the end. I feel really sad to write this as a review as I normally thoroughly enjoy Hamish and his antics. Beaton definitely not at her best.
