All About the People
"A Pillar of the Community is ultimately not about the mystery (though there is a wee bit of one) but about people. The people of his township, the people that give their time in a community; the people that are loved and disdained, and the people that Hamish strives to protect. It's a well told story and we get the opportunity to look more deeply into the series' supporting characters and to see what makes the titular Constable tick...."
