"When an ailing woman is found poisoned after a lovers’ quarrel, it’s up to constable Hamish Macbeth to solve the suspicious case!" Hamish Macbeth, seriously? I wouldn't read this based on the stupid name alone. Could we be any more condescending to the Scots? And why is a constable in charge of such a serious investigation? There are no detectives available? Or is the constable brilliant and the detectives useless? In which case why is Macbeth still a constable? Yawn.
