Death Of A Dentist Av M. C. Beaton

<p><b>An untimely death wipes the smile from Hamish''s face . . .<br></b><br>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 . . .<br><br><b>Praise for M.C. Beaton:</b><br><br>''The books are a delight: clever, intricate, sardonic and amazingly true to the real Highlands'' Kerry Greenwood<br><br>''It''s always a special treat to return to Lochdubh'' <i>New York Times</i></p>
