(Read by Graeme Malcolm; Hachette Audio; five CDs; five hours and 30 minutes)
This 32nd book in the “Hamish Macbeth” series is character-driven, engaging, and hard to turn off. Scottish police sergeant Macbeth is an odd duck with a wonderful sense of justice and very firm opinions. While solving the purported haunting of a castle, he discovers a body that soon disappears. Malcolm, who has been the voice of Macbeth for years, reads with vigor and assurance. This book is wonderful fun and easily stands alone.
