Death of a Dentist

Description

An untimely death wipes the smile from Hamish”s face . . .

In Scotland, where thrift and a ”nice set of dentures” are generally admired, Dr Frederick Gilchrist”s cheap rates and penchant for pulling teeth have gained him quite a clientele. However, wiser Highlanders – like Hamish Macbeth – opt to steer clear of this reputed womanizer”s all-too-busy hands. Only jaw-throbbing agony drives Hamish to Gilchrist”s surgery, but what he finds there is the dentist”s dead body – putting several angry husbands in the frame for murder . . .

Praise for M.C. Beaton:
