With his beloved dog, Hamish gets to know the locals and discovers he's not the only "outsider" in Cnothan. There are quite a few, a lovely lass from Canadian and a married couple that the locals cannot stand. It seems that Mr Mainwaring has a way of causing the locals to dislike him, as he picks and prods his way into all their lives. When a skeleton turns up dead and it is discovered to belong to Mr Mainwaring, Macbeth and Inspector Blair set out to investigate the case and find out who disliked Mainwaring enough to want him dead.I've liked the first two books in this series and I'm continuing on by listening to book 3, Death of a Outsider, on audio. I love seeing what Hamish gets up to and it's nice to see him away from Lochdubh for this adventure. He's trying to keep his mind off Priscilla, his crush and the girl that he can't quite see a future with, even though he wants to. He finds things interesting in Cnothan - especially with a very unattached Canadian artist. And of course there is a murder to solve!!Speaking of the murder. I read a lot of murder mysteries and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised of who Mainwaring was killed and the discovering of his skeleton. Yes not a corpse but a skeleton. I haven't seen this in a previous mystery and I love how creative M.C. Beaton was with this.I really enjoyed Death of a Outsider and will listen to more of these books on audio. It seems that there was a new narrator with this one - Shaun Grindell. He provides the voice for the rest of the audios in this series, and while it took me a little while to get used to his narration I am looking forward to seeing how he narrates future books. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great plot *by W***F on Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2022* The Hamlisch Macbeth books are vaguely similar to the TV series, however the TV writers created a different cast of characters entirely, and refined Macbeth’s persona. Still, the books are well-written and the plots and action are engaging. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Hammish is in a grumpy little town... *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2012* This was another quick mystery by M.C. Beaton based in the Scottish Highlands. Hammish Macbeth is required by his superiors to leave his beloved little town, which sees very little crime and go to another more northern town of Cnothan. Cnothan seems to be more darker than Hammish is used to, and does not like outsiders...and immediately, Hammish feels cranky and out-of-sorts. The people are not friendly, but they are more friendly to him and ready to gossip about one particular man they all seem to loathe. When that man turns up dead, and skeletonized in a lobster tank, and then Hammish's nemesis, Inspector Blair shows up to take over the investigation...Hammish's life becomes almost unbearable. So he really wants to solve this murder so he can return to his Lochdub, and normal life.This book was a bit 'darker' than 'Death of a Cad', and not as clean. But it was still a fun read and very fast. These are fun books to get on Kindle (cheaper too). You can recognize that these books were written in the 1980's because of the politics, the news, and even the mention of the clothing (Beaton mentioned the big pads in the women's dresses). So that ages the books a bit, but makes them interesting as well...These are fun books and good books, but not great writing on the par of Shakespeare or Tolkien which is why I'm not giving it five stars. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/60192771-death-of-an-outsider-a-hamish-macbeth-mystery-3](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/60192771-death-of-an-outsider-a-hamish-macbeth-mystery-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
