Description
Death of a Dreamer by M. C. Beaton is a mystery novel that follows Hamish Macbeth as he investigates the death of artist Effie Garrard, who was found poisoned with hemlock. Effie had become convinced that fellow local artist Jock Fleming was in love with her and that they were engaged, but after a lover's scrap, she met an untimely end. The case is complicated by Effie's delusional state, which makes it difficult for Hamish to discern reality from fantasy. As he digs deeper into the mystery, he uncovers a web of relationships and rivalries among the local artists that may hold the key to solving the crime. With its intricate plot and sardonic tone, Death of a Dreamer is a clever and engaging mystery that explores the complexities of human relationships and the darker side of small-town life.
