Death of an Addict

Rating:
Summary: Not of High Quality
Review: This is the second Hamish McBeth book I have read, and it is a disappointment. It lacks the folksy charm of the first. The plotting is weak, and the situations absurd. I suppost if you want a simple, easy weekend read this would do. If I had a cottage, that is where I would put this lightweight piece of nonesense.

Summary: HAMISH HAS BEEN BETTER!!!!!!
Review: Tommy Jarret, a drug addict is found dead. The police say it was an overdose. Hamish does not think so. He sets out to prove it. Then for most of the book, this murder is not even thought about. Hamish gets involved with drug dealers and gets to act the part of a drug lord. His supposed to be wife is another detective, of course they end up in bed together. Hamish even wanders into a shop and a girl they takes him home with her and they end up in bed. Wish Beaton would write like she did in the earlier books. She used to me able to make me see the villege, the countryside and the people in my mind. But, not any more. The book does have a surprise ending which is fairly good. Hope the writing gets back like it was.
