Book Rating

This is good classic Hamish Macbeth. If you are a fan of the series already, then you won't be disappointed. If not, I think you could easily pick this one up and enjoy it as a stand-alone mystery without having read the previous books.

Called to the village of Drim to investigate claims of a "haunted" castle, Hamish and Charlie discover no ghosts, but they do find a dead body. Unfortunately it disappears before CDI Blair arrives on the scene. When the investigation points to local smugglers, the department is quick to wrap up the case. Hamish is not convinced, however, and puts his own life on the line to find the real killer.

Stop. Eject.

Well! I was really looking forward to this film as I loved the first one but this is god awful.

I love Jon Boyega but in this he doesn’t seem to be acting and seems like he’s in a rush to go home.

Charlie Day is another person I love to see in films and programmes but I cannot understand why he read the script on this one and agreed to go ahead with it.

The story is ridiculous, the acting is dire and I liked nothing about it other than Burn Gorman. His character remains the same and he is a delight to watch. The rest of the film is just full of ‘cringeworthy what the f@&£ness’

Watch the first, enjoy the first and imagine there was no sequel and that it ended where it did.

Trust me, you do not want to know where they took the story; it’s diabolical and you wouldn’t believe me!
