Too often, what we see is not what we get.Ī case in point is Death of a Nurse (2016). Never mind that he went by appearance primarily when drawn to any of his women since this is a common romantic blunder. Not a romantic bone in his body for another and Hamish was so wistful about his romantic failings. He was so very not Hamish: too much hard-bitten Glaswegian energy for one thing, which is rather more like Inspector Blair really.
In addition, while Robert Carlyle is an admirable actor in many ways, he could not counterfeit Hamish’s hapless feyness and chronic lack of ambition. The characters and plots are unrecognizable as Beaton creations.

Death of a Love (2020), the soon to be published and last Macbeth novel, concludes his adventures-unless the mantle settles on another writer.īest forget the three season televised series Hamish Macbeth except to see the Highlands and hear the accents. However, the fact of her death is especially jarring for me because I will sorely miss seeing what she can come up with next for Hamish. It is consoling to think about and appreciate just how prolific an author she was, writing in several genres under various pseudonyms. Surely it is because Hamish is my favorite of her characters in her more than 160 books although there have been many characters and books from which to choose. I have only begun to process these feelings by actually writing an article about her and the last Hamish Macbeth books written as M.C.
I have been saddened at the passing of Marion Chesney Gibbon. You have no idea how hard it is to live out a great romance.
