Death of a Witch (Hamish Macbeth, #25)

Death of a Witch (Hamish Macbeth, #25)Death of a Witch by M.C. Beaton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The latest Hamish Macbeth book is a good one.  Lockdubh has a resident witch and she is creating havoc in the life of the village.  Several men have been seen leaving her house late and night and the women are furious.  Soon there is a murder and Hamish is left to solve the mystery while Inspector Blair, who has made a career of trying to get rid of Hamish, muddies the waters in his rush to judgement.  There are a number of subplots, but they all come together nicely except for one.  I was a little disappointed in the ending.  Actually, the ending of the main mystery is wound up nicely, but there is a sub plot that seems to be tacked on.   Even though it is mentioned earlier in the book, it could have been left off, and probably should have.

I have read this before, but I spent the day traveling between Virginia and Florida and it was nice to listen to on the trip.  Fortunately for me, I didn't remember who did the crime, so it was like new to me...one of the perks of a failing memory.
