I guess that's why, this week, on the recommendation of a reviewer on YouTube, I picked up the first book in the Hamish Macbeth series. If you are a fan of 1990s BBC mysteries then you may be familiar with the series (as I was), but this isn't exactly that. While you're transported to the beautiful Highland village of Lochdubh (pronounced Lochdoo) and you meet the fantastic and laid-back Hamish Macbeth, other similarities are few and far between. However, if you love a cosy mystery and want something with beautiful scenery then this might be just what you're looking for. As with every episode, I am not going to spoil the ending, reveal whodunnit or why...I am going to give you a nice in-depth look into the story itself... </p><p><strong>Featured Episodes</strong> </p><p><a href=\"https://feeds.captivate.fm/being-bookish/cosy-crime/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The cosy crime playlist</a> </p><p><strong>Episode Links</strong> </p><p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@beingbookishpod/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Being Bookish YouTube</a> </p>\n","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/000107a5-87b2-40dd-874e-222e4f139a18/b952cf494ce1b14c.jpg"}
