With all the fuss about Agatha Raisin, I had to borrow the first instalment of Hamish MacBeth to see what it was all about.
I must say I wasn't convinced by Death of a gossip. It read easily enough, but it wasn't great, just superficial. Somebody who wants to write like Agatha Christie but doesn't have her talent. Apparently though, those novels do please my readers !
I also tried watching the tv-show, hoping it would be better (with Robert Carlyle and great landscapes), it was nice but not great. I had forgotten the Scottish accent was so hard to understand, lol !
