Hamish Macbeth
Cozy Mystery
📖 Ongoing Series
The Hamish Macbeth series by M.C. Beaton follows the lazy, lovable, but surprisingly shrewd constable Hamish Macbeth of Lochdubh, a tiny village in the Scottish Highlands. Deliberately avoiding promotion to stay in his beloved village, Hamish reluctantly investigates murders that disrupt his peaceful existence. The 34-book series was adapted into a BBC drama starring Robert Carlyle. Utterly charming, deeply Scottish, and perfect cozy reading. Start with Death of a Gossip (Book 1). Beaton also wrote the equally beloved Agatha Raisin series.
