what decade is Hamish Macbeth set in? I read the first Hamish Macbeth assuming it was the 1950s, but then in the second one somebody says "I don't have AIDS" which brings it forward at least to the early 80's. It just doesn't have a late 20th century feeling though, perhaps that's to do with the remoteness of the location. (I won't be reading any further anyway, I got bored and stopped halfway through the second Hamish book, the characters are just too annoying).
Also, how on earth does she manage to write at least 3 books a year (some years it looks like about 5 books according to Wiki).
