Description of
Death of a Kingfisher (Hamish Macbeth Mysteries)
While Hamish is a likeable character, he seems to be perpetually unlucky in love. In this book, it looks like he could be getting a new girlfriend, and that definitely gets the attention of his two ex-girlfriends, Priscilla Halburton-Smythe and reporter Elspeth Grant. Hamish seems to get along better with his exes when they're not actually dating, and I enjoyed his interactions with both Priscilla and Elspeth. Priscilla is certainly a more likeable character when she is Hamish's friend instead of his girlfriend. While this isn't my favorite book in this series, it's an entertaining mystery that is surprisingly complex for this cozy series. There are several interesting characters whose actions provide plenty of twists and turns and keep the reader guessing as to how the book will end. I enjoyed the story and found the book to be a swift, enjoyable read. However, I do think the book ends a bit abruptly, but the ending does provide yet another final twist that makes this book a winner.
