Reviews of Death of a Cad

"* 'It's always a special treat to return to Lochdubh' – New York Times * 'Superb entertainment, as rich and warming as a fine malt whisky, and every bit as addictive' – Houston Chronicle * 'An enchanting series….M.C. Beaton has a foolproof plot for the village mystery.' – New York Times Book Review * 'Beaton, a Scot herself, excels at giving readers a taste of Highland life and creating a believable character in the lonely, brilliant, continually frustrated-in-love Macbeth.' – Booklist"
