laid-back, soft-spoken, idealistic, and more often than not, quite human.
Beaton's Scottish Highlands setting complements her police procedurals
and makes the series well worth the time devoted to following the quite

solution of “Death of a Dentist” (inevitably) comes into view, the reader, while
not surprised, will find the book worth the effort! A delightful read.
