A Highland Christmas

Beaton, a Scot herself, excels at giving readers a taste of Highland life and creating a believable character in the lonely, brilliant, continually frustrated-in-love Macbeth. Booklist Superb entertainment, as rich and warming as a fine malt whisky, and every bit as addictive Houston Chronicle It's always a special treat to return to Lochdubh New York Times As usual, Beaton delivers a delightfully old-fashioned, absorbing village mystery. Booklist This fictional world-part cozy, part unsparing-can be highly addictive. School Library Journal
