Jill Hutchinson's Reviews > The Devil's Cave

I gave this book a lower rating than it probably deserved for one reason.....it was a Hamish Macbeth novel moved from Scotland to France.......policeman (Bruno Courréges) in a small rural village (St. Denis), has a beloved dog, unrequited love. eccentric friends, strange crimes for such a small town, etc. I could have practically predicted what was going to happen since I have read several of the Macbeth stories. I'm certainly not accusing the author of plagiarism but the similarities were so obvious that it rather put me off.

The story is clever and the characters are interesting but I felt like I had read it before with different character names and nationalities. But the reader needs to make a choice.....read this series or read the Macbeth series but don't necessarily read both.
