Summary

Summary

When Fergus Macleod, Lochdubh’s abusive, drunk dustman is put in charge of the local recycling center, Hamish Macbeth smells trouble. Sure enough, Fergus, imbued with his new powers, becomes a bullying tyrant. When his body is found stuffed in a recycling bin, no one is sorry—including his long-suffering family. But Macbeth is surprised to find that many of the despicable dustman’s victims refuse to talk—and when violence strikes again, the lanky lawman must quickly unearth the culprit among a litter of suspects … before the killer makes a clean getaway!

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“In Death of a Dustman, the story is a charming one, and a visit to little Lochdubh is as refreshing as a mountain spring. Readers who enjoy the charms of the cozy subgenre will find this series their cup of tea.” RT Book Reviews
“Beaton’s mysteries, centering on a tiny village in the Scottish Highlands, combine James Herriot’s feel for landscape with Simon Brett’s comic audacity…Beaton’s deft hand with description…and her wryly sketched side characters, like Hamish’s latest assistant, Clarry, who cooks better than he patrols, along with village secrets laid bare, make this a delightful entry in an altogether captivating series.” Booklist (starred review)
“Beaton once again entertains fans of the series with delightful escapades of the Scottish populace and a good mystery. She uses Hamish not only as the main character, but also as a foundation for learning about the culture, activities, and other people in the village…Another entertaining offering from this successful author.” School Library Journal
“Hamish’s sixteenth is another winner for his prolific chronicler.” Kirkus Reviews
