This paper is on Agatha Raisin and Hamish Macbeth, which are the characters of M.C. Beaton.
M.C. Beaton is the recent leading writer of the British village mystery novel, a sort perfected by Agatha Christie with her Miss Marple character. Beaton has two series going one featuring Hamish Macbeth, police constable in a Scottish Highlands village, Lochdubh, and the other featuring Agatha Raisin, amateur sleuth in a village in southern England. Her writing style is superb and has since made me much more critical of other authors. M.C. Beaton is the author of 12 mysteries first published by Ivy, and now Bantam Books, featuring Hamish Macbeth (the local bobby in the sleepy Scottish Highland village of Lochdubh) and his eccentric neighbors.
Macbeth is a quiet, artfully lazy man who often wonders why no one else "understands the happiness and contentment of the truly unambitious man." Hamish's peaceful life is disrupted throughout the series, on the other hand, as he is faced with murders in his orderly town. The victim is almost always some meddlesome outsider who seems to have invited his or her own demise. Macbeth solves the murders in his easygoing Highland style. Beaton has a cult following of mystery readers, and both of her recent books were reviewed favorably by The New York Times. Mysterious Press is about to bring all the Hamish Macbeth mysteries back into print.
