Death of a Green-Eyed Monster (Hamish Macbeth #34) by M.C. Beaton

 Death of a Green-Eyed Monster (Hamish Macbeth #34) by M.C. Beaton and R.W. Green-240 pages

The latest in the Hamish Macbeth series finds Macbeth in love with his new police constable, Dorothy McIver. Hamish and his new constable soon become engaged to be married. However, a new murder occurs on their patch and it could have implications for Hamish's and Dorothy's plans. Will Hamish finally get married or will his plans be thwarted once again? I enjoyed reading this book. However, I can't give it more than 3 out of 5 stars because I'm not fully satisfied with the ending. I agree with Mary that, if this is the last Hamish Macbeth mystery, this ending is not satisfactory. I wish the book would have had a different ending. That being said it's still a good read. If you enjoy cozy mysteries, then you'll enjoy the Hamish Macbeth series.

I have previously read a couple of Hamish Macbeth mysteries by M.C. Beaton. I listened to this one on a recent road trip. I really enjoyed listening to it. Hamish Macbeth is a Police Sergeant in a small, quaint village in the Scottish Highlands, Lochdubh. A new Constable (police officer) is assigned to work under him in his quaint village. Her name is Josie McSween and she has a massive crush on Hamish. She tries her hardest to get Hamish to notice her romantically. When a local young woman with a reputation for philandering/flirting is murdered Josie thinks it could be the perfect opportunity to get closer to Hamish. Will Hamish finally tie the knot or is Josie McSween hiding something? I would give this 4 out of 5 stars and would recommend it, especially to those who enjoy cozy mysteries.
