Hamish Macbeth

I did manage to find a winner among all the B books I read. The Hamish Macbeth series by MC Beaton was great. I managed to read all 24 books within three weeks. They all involve an unambitious, but rather clever policeman in the little Northern Scottish coastal village of Lochdubh. Sometimes it seemed a little Jessica Fletcher as an inordinate amount of people are getting killed in such a small town. But if you overlook that small detail they are quite fun books.

It was also made into a TV show BBC Scotland starring Robert Carlyle. The show loosely follows the books.
