Death of a Ghost by M.C. Beaton

Death of a Ghost by M.C. Beaton-256 pages

 This is a Hamish Macbeth Mystery (book #32 in the series) and I enjoyed reading it. It's a light read and one that could be called a "cozy mystery." Police Sgt. Hamish Macbeth is called to Drim (in the Scottish highlands) to a castle now owned by a former police superintendent who has been hearing strange noises and thinks the castle might be haunted. The castle is not haunted, but a dead body of a Professor John Gordon is found on the grounds and a mystery is afoot. More people are found dead soon and the question becomes whether or not the same person murdered all of them or if it was more than one murderer. I read this because NoveList suggested M.C. Beaton as a read alike to Agatha Christie and I would mostly agree. If you like Agatha Christie, then you would probably like M.C. Beaton. Also, I've been to Scotland and the Scottish highlands setting of this novel and series intrigued me.
