A missing person report is not usually something that Hamish
Macbeth sees as cause for undue distress. Should a child or a
vulnerable person vanish, it's an urgent matter that needs to be
treated seriously, but in Macbeth's experience, most other people
who go missing tend to turn up again before long. So when Kate
Hibbert disappears after having last been seen struggling along the
road with a heavy suitcase, he is convinced she has gone travelling
and reluctantly goes through the motions of investigating.
Interviewing those who were closest to her, Macbeth is perplexed by
their apparent lack of concern but sees no reason to suspect foul
play. When Hibbert does eventually resurface, however, a storm of
lies, intrigue and scandal threatens Macbeth's tranquil village of
Lochdubh. Torn between loyalty to his local community and his
responsibilities as a police officer, he begins threading his way
through a maze of deceit, quickly finding himself on the trail of a
ruthless, treacherous murderer. If he catches the killer, peace can
return to the village. If he fails, he will lose everything - his
job, his home and the life he so loves in Lochdubh. Praise of Death
of a Green-Eyed Monster: 'This Hamish Macbeth novel maintains
Beaton's distinctive voice and includes the usual village
eccentrics, loads of Scottish lore, and the light humor that Beaton
fans have loved through the years. . . A definite purchase for all
mystery collections' Starred Review, Library Journal 'Unmissable!'
Peterborough Telegraph Praise for the Hamish Macbeth series: 'First
rate ... deft social comedy and wonderfully realized atmosphere.'
Booklist 'It's always a treat to return to Lochdubh.' New York
Times 'Readers will enjoy the quirks and unique qualities of the
cast ... Beaton catches the beauty of the area's natural geography
and succinctly describes its distinct flavour.' Library Journal
'Befuddled, earnest and utterly endearing, Hamish makes his
triumphs sweetly satisfying.' Publishers Weekly
