About this listen

Mrs Gentle has fooled everyone into thinking she is as sweet as she sounds - Gentle by name and gentle by nature. But local constable Hamish Macbeth isn't fooled. He believes this little old lady is actually quite sly and vicious, but he's in a minority of one. Or is he?

When Mrs Gentle dies under unusual circumstances, the villagers of Lochdubh are shocked and outraged. Chief Detective Inspector Blair suspects that members of her family may be involved but Hamish thinks there's much more to the story - and is willing to get rough to solve the riddle of Mrs Gentle's mysterious demise.

Yet again Beaton has given us a wonderfully entertaining story about Hamish and the Highlands of Scotland. All her books are so good and this series is expertly narrated by Monteath

I love Agatha Raisin books, so easy going and just a tad on the silly side! Not to mention the national treasure Penelope Keith reading them, so I decided to give her other hero Hamish McBeth a try as well! Excellent! Fantastic descriptions that put you right in the heart of rural Scotland and wonderful colourful characters! I totally recommend this easy listening book! Enjoy!

M.C. Does it again!

This is a very unusual idea for a story, and very enjoyable. M C Besron has a talent for benign but interesting plots.

Unique storyline
