Death Of A Dentist: A Hamish Macbeth Mystery

Death Of A Dentist: A Hamish Macbeth Mystery, by M. C. Beaton, Narrated by Davina Porter." "If you haven't already fallen in love with the internationally-acclaimed M.C. Beaton, then this audiobook filled with her trademark wry wit and a wonderfully puzzling plot will do the trick. When Hamish Macbeth---Lochdubh's one-man police force---awakens one morning with a killer toothache, the only dentist who will see him immediately is Dr. Gilchrist. The dentist is infamous for some unsavory womanizing and his use of "The Great Australian Trench," a practiced slip of the drill that mars several teeth and ensures a return customer. Unfortunately for Hamish, and Gilchrist, someone has canceled all the doctor's appointments---permanently. A toothache can drive a man mad, and Hamish, with a mouth full of throbbing pain, decides to go after the killer alone. Narrator Davina Porter captures Beaton's smooth blend of motive, means, fast-paced action, and delightfully quirky characters while transporting listeners to the Scottish Highlands." "Reading Beaton is an experience akin to discovering buried treasure." ---Booklist, starred review. The Midwest Book Review raves, "Porter's voice is the perfect choice." [from back of case]
