Death of an Honest Man
Hamish Macbeth is back in another installment of MC Beaton’s series. This time, he is investigating the murder of a man known for offending everyone he meets with his “honesty.” Although nothing ever really seems to change in Hamish’s life, at first I was impressed that Beaton seemed to be embracing progressive ideas of equality in the book. Yet, as it progressed, some sort of “evil” possessed Hamish and filled him with alarmingly misogynistic ideas that may have tainted my love for him permanently. It seemed a strange move for a 2018 novel. Other than this glitch, the rest of the book maintained its cozy mystery standards and was an easy, relaxing read.
