Marion Chesney Gibbons
aka: Ann Fairfax, Jennie Tremaine, Helen Crampton, Marion Chesney, Charlotte Ward, Sarah Chester.
Marion Chesney was born on 1936 in Glasgow, Scotland, UK, and started her first job as a bookseller in charge of the fiction department in John Smith & Sons Ltd. While bookselling, by chance, she got an offer from the Scottish Daily Mail to review variety shows and quickly rose to be their theatre critic. She left Smith’s to join Scottish Field magazine as a secretary in the advertising department, without any shorthand or typing, but quickly got the job of fashion editor instead. She then moved to the Scottish Daily Express where she reported mostly on crime. This was followed by a move to Fleet Street to the Daily Express where she became chief woman reporter. After marrying Harry Scott Gibbons and having a son, Charles, Marion went to the United States where Harry had been offered the job of editor of the Oyster Bay Guardian. When that didn’t work out, they went to Virginia and Marion worked as a waitress in a greasy spoon on the Jefferson Davies in Alexandria while Harry washed the dishes. Both then got jobs on Rupert Murdoch’s new tabloid, The Star, and moved to New York.
Anxious to spend more time at home with her small son, Marion, urged by her husband, started to write historical romances in 1977. After she had written over 100 of them under her maiden name, Marion Chesney, and under the pseudonyms: Ann Fairfax, Jennie Tremaine, Helen Crampton, Charlotte Ward, and Sarah Chester, she getting fed up with 1714 to 1910, she began to write detectives stories in 1985 under the pseudonym of M. C. Beaton. On a trip from the States to Sutherland on holiday, a course at a fishing school inspired the first Constable Hamish Macbeth story. They returned to Britain and bought a croft house and croft in Sutherland where Harry reared a flock of black sheep. But Charles was at school, in London so when he finished and both tired of the long commute to the north of Scotland, they moved to the Cotswolds where Agatha Raisin was created.

The charm of the Scottish Highlands and a truly likable detective offer airy bliss for mystery lovers in M.C. Beaton's Hamish Macbeth series.
For anyone not familiar with this fine series, Hamish Macbeth is a constable in the Highland village of Lochdubh, and much of the enjoyment for the reader is derived from the quirky interactions between Hamish and Lochdubh's residents. The lanky and red-haired Hamish is a bachelor the entire village would like to see romantically attached. There seems to be no end of choices, but Hamish can never quite settle his heart on just one. While being a quite gifted investigator, he makes his crime solving abilities appear as fortuitous happenings in order to remain under the radar, so that he may remain in his beloved Lochdubh with his animals, including a wild Highland cat he has attempted to domesticate with shaky results.
In Death of a Dreamer, village tongues are wagging when a local artist named Effie, a dreamer who lives in her own world, claims to be marrying a visiting artist named Jock. He denies offering to marry her, however. He has an ex-wife with a grudge, and a female agent named Betty to whom Hamish is more than a bit attracted, which of course creates more village gossip.
Hamish smells trouble on the Highland winds and it isn't long before Effie's somewhat sad existence comes to an end. When old flame Priscilla returns and Hamish has Glasgow reporter Elspeth to deal with as well, will he be too distracted to get at the truth? Having a C.S.I. team which gets inebriated at the local pub, leading to Jedi fights with blue-lights substituting for light sabers, doesn't help our favorite constable much. Adding another spanner to the works, Hamish is teamed with a rather ambitious colleague named Robin, which is certain to lead to trouble in a village like Lochdubh.
Everyone writes off Effie's death as a suicide at first, but Hamish knows better. The deeper he looks into Effie's past, and her interactions with people, the longer his list of suspects becomes. A second death occurs before Hamish's wild cat saves the day in this fun and enjoyable mystery.
Filled with charm, politically incorrect humor and a quirky atmosphere which will leave you pining for a visit to Scotland, this is a fine series somewhere between a cozy and a traditional detective story. If you like your mysteries to leave a smile on your face, then Hamish and Lochdubh is a place you'll want to visit as often as possible. Highly recommended!

I enjoyed this one overall but glad I won't have to read about the annoying Currie sisters anymore as they did get tiresome lying about Hamish and putting him down all the time. At first reading about them was funny as they are so silly being two old maids and one seems to have Tourette's syndrome.
M. C. Beaton calls her "the Greek chorus" which is also amusing.
I only lack one or two of this 36 books series. It is super difficult for me to know which ones as they are not numbered on the books. It makes me appreciate Janet Evanovich who numbers all her books.
3 December- Just read it for the second time and enjoyed it so much!

Despite the title, our victim, Effie Garrard, is no dreamer; she is a delusional romantic. A successful artist, she moves to the outskirts of Lochdubh in the Scottish Highlands. However, Effie takes it into her head that a fellow artist, Jock Fleming, wants to marry her, even though he has said no such thing and done nothing to lead her on.
Readers will discover in the first chapter that Effie’s sure to be murdered. Sure, Effie was an inveterate liar — particularly lying to herself. Yet, who would kill her? Even though PC Hamish Macbeth’s lazy, ignorant boss declares the death a suicide, readers and Hamish know otherwise.
Most of the time, M.C. Beaton weaves a worthy mystery around the colorful (and very flawed) characters in Lochdubh; however, this 21st novel in the series suffers from an implausible victim and and a suspect readers will guess before page 50. Not bad, but certainly not memorable.

Beaton is a bit obsessed with the idea of the extreme fantasist: the person who contemplates and dreams a conversation, a situation, so hard they lose their grasp on what's actually happening.
In this case, it's a woman who so completely pictures herself embroiled in a romance, she even imagines - and believes - she's become engaged. Because she lives on Hamish's beat, there are of course disastrous results. But who would bother to murder the poor woman?
There are further complications, both criminal and personal, for Macbeth to sift through. Unfortunately, his own despair over failed romances seems to hinder his famous Highland intuition. He tries his best, but he doesn't have his usual flair for intelligent leaps until almost the close of the story.
In some ways, I can't blame him. But at the same time, I can't help but wish he'd recognize how much the spectre of Priscilla screws with his interpretations of and expectations from romantic entanglements. Perhaps it's my own experiences coloring my reading: I've learned first-hand it's no use putting your life on hold, hoping and waiting for an emotionally unavailable person to suddenly come back on the scene and lovingly declare they'll stay forever. Ain't gonna happen, my friend.
One can only hope Hamish smartens up soon and stops letting his own flights of fantasy get in the way of his shrewd investigative ability.

3.5* for this cosy set in the Scottish Highlands.
There is an influx of artists into Lochdubh. There is Effie Garrett, who is producing beautiful works of art and pottery, but who is mentally unstable; and Jock Flemming, landscape artist, occasional portrait painter, and womaniser. His ex-wife is hanging around, muddying the waters, and his agent, the striking Betty Barnard, is trying to protect him from himself.
When Effie and Jock meet, she falls for him, and soon has everyone (including herself) convinced that Jock is madly in love with her and has proposed. Jock is angry and confronts Effie. Following a blazing row, she is found dead in the mountains, apparently poisoned by the wine she drank.
Was it suicide? Or was it murder? And who else is going to die before local constable Hamish Macbeth can deduce who the killer is?
I love MC Beaton's work! I love her characters - emotionally stunted Hamish MacBeth who relies on his feral cat and his rather odd dog for companionship; the remote but beautiful Priscilla Halburton-Smythe who likes to tug at Hamish's heart strings occasionally; and the peripheral cast of characters who all contribute to the warmth and humour of the plot.
A series I am thoroughly enjoying, and intent on reading through to the end.

Basically every review I write about Hamish Macbeth could be summed up in the same three words:
I. Love. It!
Hamish makes me ridiculously happy. Each audiobook is a special treat. I've never gone through a series so quickly. I only discovered Hamish this year and I'm already on book 21! I just can't get enough of him. I'm already excited about rereading all these books.
Effie, a kooky lady, winds up dead in the hills. It's written down as a suicide but Hamish isn't buying it. He has to investigate on the DL but he won't give up!
(Side note: I was SO angry at Eslpeth in this one! If you've read the book, you'll know what I mean.)

Really enjoyed this #22 in the series Death of a ………
Hamish was in top form investigating the death whilst surrounded by lovely ladies vying for his attention, not to mention his beloved pets, Lugs and Sonsie, the feral cat (?)!

A library book. My first M.C. Beaton book, though this is maybe the 20th book she has written, a Hamish Macbeth mystery.
This was a nice, easy read, perfect to while away a winter's day or night. Although I guessed the murderer less than halfway through the book, I enjoyed the characters and story line, which reminded me of Agatha Christie's "gentle mysteries."

I liked this book by M. C. Beaton, and found it satisfactory. Part of it was timing; I was in the mood for harmless entertainment, and while I hadn't read this book before, I knew what I was going to get.
Death of a Dreamer is the latest in a series of murder mysteries set in a remote village in the Scottish Highlands, and featuring the local policeman, a lanky redhead named Hamish Macbeth. This is a B series, not to be compared with Ellis Peters or Dick Francis or Anne Perry, my A-list favorites. No, this is more like Hostess Snowballs or Cupcakes or Twinkies--they're good enough if you like them, dreadful if you don't, but in no way comparable to a good homemade brownie or toasted almond cake.
But I confess a certain guilty pleasure in Hostess Snowballs, and I like this particular B series. I like Hamish and Priscilla, and the other characters are reasonably distinctive if annoying. The setting is interesting enough, the plots are reasonably cohesive, and they're not so long that the imperfections get to me. It was good enough, and I still liked it when it was all over.
And I won't regret the calories later.

6/1/22 - in a Hamish Macbeth read-a-thon and love all the townspeople and all the interesting twists and turns of a Hamish case. I really didn’t like any of the people involved in this case - sometimes some of the suspects are sympathetic, but all of these people were awful. This is another one that felt like some of the details came from personal experience of the author.

3.0 out of 5 -- Good book for light summer reading
This time around Hamish is investigating the murder of an artist by poison, battling his superiors, and grappling with his feelings for his longtime love Priscilla Halburtin-Smythe, Elspeth Grant, and the visiting Betty Barnard.
The book was humorous and entertaining, filled with quirky characters, clues, and misdirection. A great summer read.

Ahh Hamish, love will never find you and death will forever follow you.

Another top one in the series - a really good mystery and the regular cast does a good job this time and the running story doesn’t just stomp around, but actually moves.
April 8, 2012
This is a tour-de-force. Perhaps you will appreciate it more when you have been reading the entire series. All Hamish's girlfriends come together and get to know each other and a new one hovers on the fringes. Two murders, several plot threads; if you are really suspicious when things look TOO good, you will guess this one - but it took me a while because Marion Chesney lays her clues so carefully. Blair is out of the picture (thank goodness, the Blair routine was getting old) but we see a surprising new side of Superintendent Daviot. A wonderful wrapping up of the plot threads at the end with a final unexpected touch. One of the best in this series!

I really enjoyed this book in the series. It was quite the lovers quarrel over a very unworthy candidate if you ask me. I was surprised by the culprit, but thought it had to be
August 26, 2016
This book was a bit more somber than usual. I'm happy that Elspeth is still included in the series, the last book had me a bit worried, but I feel like she's losing. To be honest, I'm a bit tired of Hamish's constant love triangles (love squares? Love polygons? anyway). I kinda just want him to pick one already (and I suspect it will be Priscilla even though I think I'm team Elspeth). Still, the story was interesting and I was a bit surprised by how the novel wrapped up.
October 17, 2017
Delightful mystery with fully-accented language throughout. I found myself talking to my dog as if I had a highland accent! Lots of suspects, nice character development, no sharp turns or twists but still fun (can one say that a murder mystery is "fun"?). Although this is one in a series, it can be read as a stand-alone. I was pleased enough with the story that I plan on starting from book #1 in the series - this should keep me occupied for a while!
February 16, 2017
I like the actual mysteries in these books but I'm getting sick and tired of Hamish's obsession with the prickly Priscilla. I had really held out hopes that Elspeth would be the one he dropped Priscilla for once and for all! 21 books in and it's still the exact same thing. Good grief!
May 15, 2016
The murder mystery was interesting enough, but Hamish's love life overshadowed it at times. Priscilla needs to GO AWAY (or die)!

These just get better and better!

"Manana (with a tilde over the first "n", as in Spanish for 'tomorrow') is too urgent a word for a Highlander." I really busted up when I heard that quote from this again "laugh out loud" audio rendition of this book. No doubt about it, I am going to read ALL of these. (Or listen to them all on my weekly car trip to Phoenix and back.) This one was especially funny. This crime/detective story continues with Hamish Macbeth dealing with his different love interests, his pets, his neighbors, his co-workers, his bosses and his own lack of ambition and motivation--he can't even talk himself into taking his "dream" vacation!! This was the funniest of all I have read so far. I will start over from the first in the series, "Death of a Gossip", so I can have his story chronologically. In researching, I found a three-season television series was created in England based on this character and these books. They actually do read almost like a screen play at times. If you like having fun with murder, these are for you!!
November 4, 2011
Kept me well-entertained on a long car trip - the reader was very good. These are not intellectual who-dunnits and the mystery is rarely what kept my interest. The mystery just adds a dash of spice to what is otherwise a pleasantly mundane story of what is likely a charicaturesque Scottish highland village. I actually really relished reading all the banal descriptions of Hamish taking care of his dog and cat, fixing himself a meal and taking his time to recover from a blow to the head. If I thought about it a little harder I would probably come to the conclusion that the author puts in detail in the wrong places or perhaps just needs to insert some detail elsewhere. My one frustration was often not understanding the motivations behind the actions and reactions of some of the characters. I'm not too bothered about this except maybe as regards Hamish. If she delved a little deeper into his character it might take these books to another more satisfying level. Or maybe they would just lose their pleasant easygoing charm.

Macbeth and the Fantasist
Review of the Blackstone Audio Inc. audiobook edition (2007) of the original Mysterious Press hardcover (2006)
Lochdubh village constable Hamish Macbeth has to contend with yet another incomer. Dreamer Effie Garrard imagines herself in a relationship with a famous artist. Various relationship complications ensue and of course several murders intervene to bring disruption to Macbeth's calm village life. Hamish's wildcat Sonsie and dog Lugs come to the rescue in the end in a dramatic conclusion.
I've exhausted the availability of free audiobooks for this delightful series from the Audible Plus option so I'm now seeking out the rest of the series from the Toronto Public Library. I'm still hoping to read them in order as much as possible.

Is it any wonder that Hamish isn't married? When you consider that most of the suspects in this latest murder case are women, the women of the village have turned against him and are warning other people away from the "local Lothario" and both Elspeth and Priscilla turn up to add to the insults as well as the complications. Now throw in an ambitious female detective who is willing to sleep her way to the top . . . well, of course Hamish has his dog and cat sleep in the bed with him! He'll end up dead if he lets anyone else in!
August 28, 2016
I always enjoy the Hamish Macbeth series, but this one was extremely far-fetched. Still, it was a pleasant, fast-paced and enjoyable listen. I love the performer's Scottish accents. I feel like I'm in the Scottish highlands whenever I'm reading or listening to a Hamish Macbeth book. M. C. Beaton gives vivid descriptions of the landscape and characters and she makes me laugh out loud.

I really enjoy the Hamish Macbeth mysteries.
