I'll definitely read more from the series - I'll have two seeing as I have the first couple - but yes, I enjoyed reading something other than Glasgow.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-91447974045743848172015-02-22T15:08:34.561-08:002015-02-22T15:08:34.561-08:00I've got the first one - and this one - and mu...I've got the first one - and this one - and must read them. Love any Scottish setting, tbh. Got a couple of friends from Dundee, and obv it has nice bits, but I was surprised at how rough some of it sounded. Horrendous heroin problem too, as is often the case in these cities that had lots of heavy industry, which has been lost and not replaced with anything. Great review, thanks Colin.crimeworm.wordpress.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02297857551339384804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-5311353326696655902015-02-22T01:53:31.602-08:002015-02-22T01:53:31.602-08:00Fair enough Moira.

You're right that there isn't as much crime fiction set in Dundee as there is in some other places like Glasgow. I think I would find the setting interesting, and the premise sounds interesting.
