Death of a Macho Man

DEATH OF A MACHO MAN, R.C. Beaton. New York: Mysterious Press, 1996 215 pages.
Death of a Macho Man is a great mystery book. I recommend it for anyone who likes stories that leave you guessing who did the crime until the very end of the story. I, at times, felt like I was actually there at some points in the story. R.C. Beaton has really out done herself on this story.
The story takes place in the fictitious village of Lokdubh which is located in the highlands to the north of Ireland. The main character in the story, Hamish Macbeth, is the police constable of Lokdubh. There have been many murders in this town. Most of the time the person who is the most likely to have killed the person is a person that didn’t do it. In this mystery a guy named Randy Duggan, who has made an enemy out of almost everyone in town, is unsurprisingly killed. Hamish must go through a large list of people who all had good reasons for killing him. Finally at the end he finds out who really did it. This has been one of the greatest books I have ever read.
