Death of a Liar (Hamish Macbeth #30) by M.C. Beaton-307 pages
Another (slightly earlier than "Death of a Ghost") novel in the Hamish Macbeth Mystery series by M.C. Beaton, I enjoyed "Death of a Liar." In this entry, the reader finds Hamish Macbeth trying to solve the mystery of the murder of a woman from a nearby village who had "cried wolf" too many times. When the woman leaves a frantic voice message for Hamish one night hysterically exclaiming that a man is trying to break into her cottage he doesn't immediately believe her. However, the next morning, feeling guilty, Hamish decides to check in on the woman and that's when he finds her dead body in her garden. More murders and mayhem commence in the months following this initial crime, but Hamish eventually solves the case (with a little help) as usual.
