Almost a 'Colombo' in kilts meets the game of 'Clue.'
Not the thriller that John Sandford writes, nor the twists and turns that Jeffery Deaver puts out, but good fun, some chuckles, and a solid plot. You know who is going to get 'done in' quickly, but it takes some doing to figure out who done it!

I found the first few Hamish Macbeth books enjoyable, quirky, cozy mysteries. But they didn't seem to grow on me as much as I'd hoped, and I started to get bored with them. I found the Agatha Raisin books by the same author more long-term enjoyable.
Another quirky cozy series are the Feathering mysteries by Simon Brett. Not sure what the status of them on eBooks is, since I read most of them via dead tree book or Audible. But worth a try if you can find them at a reasonable price.
