Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy which I found difficult to read.
However,thanks to my local library....
I came to the books after hearing the BBC radio programmes and do not find them as easy to take.Is this to do with the writing style or simply that the actors were so well-chosen that only by hearing their voices do the characters in the book come alive for me?
The book is atmospheric and, as an Edinburgher in exile, I appreciate the accurate depiction of the city and its people.
Jean is as feisty, McLevy as thrawn as ever but do the sparks really fly in this?
Decent plot, well-drawn minor characters but not top-notch
