My 2 star review of Death of a Travelling Man (Hamish Macbeth, #9), by M.C. Beaton:-

Spoiler:

Once more Beaton blunders by making her villain not horrible enough. But obviously many fans of the series are satisfied with the writing.

Kafka this was never intended as. I would have been happy with less padding of the story. There were entire Chapters dedicated to so called investigation.

I'm beginning to think that Hamish spoils the mechanism of any of his stories. He should appear sparingly. But notice how better the book gets when he is not the first person narrator.
