In Scotland, where thrift and a “nice set of dentures” are generally admired, dental surgeon Dr. Frederick Gilchrist’s cheap rates and penchant for pulling teeth have gained him a clientele.

However, wiser Highlanders, like Constable Hamish Macbeth, opt to steer clear of this reputed womanizer’s all-too-busy hands. But a blinding toothache sends Hamish Macbeth 120 miles out of Lochdubh to the infamous dentist’s door.

Unfortunately for Hamish and Gilchrist, someone has canceled all the doctor’s appointments—permanently. Since everyone is pleased that the dentist is deceased—patients, several harassed women, and even his wife—Macbeth faces one of the more biting challenges of his career.

A toothache can drive a man mad, and Hamish, with a mouth full of throbbing pain, decides to go after the killer alone.

M. C. Beaton has won international acclaim for her New York Times bestselling Hamish Macbeth mysteries. The BBC has aired 24 episodes based on the series. Beaton is also the author of the bestselling Agatha Raisin series, which will air as an eight-episode dramatic series on Sky1, starring Ashley Jensen. She lives in the Cotswolds with her husband.

Reviews

“A cast of engaging locals with full-blown Highland accents.”

“Macbeth’s efforts bustle charmingly along against the background of quirky Scots dialect and rustic pubs. And Beaton’s tangled web of a mystery is tidily resolved to the satisfaction of the locals and, surely, for all the devoted fans of this winning series.”

“Using his innate knowledge of human nature, his keen intuition, and his superb investigative skills, he soon gets at the heart of the matter. A gem of a book, a gem of a plot, a gem of a hero—M. C. Beaton and Hamish MacBeth shine once again.”

“It’s well nigh impossible not to fall for ace moocher Hamish, with his quick mind, deceptively simple manner, and accursed luck with the fairer sex.”
