The Stolen Voice by Pat McIntosh

sadie_slater's review

4.0

The Stolen Voice is the sixth of Pat McIntosh's series of mysteries set in 15th-century Scotland. This one sees Gil Cunningham and his wife Alys investigating the apparent return of a boy chorister who vanished near his home in Balquhidder thirty years earlier, seemingly only a handful of years older, and the disappearance of four other choristers from the cathedrals of Dunblane and Perth. It's an engaging mystery which manages not to feel anachronistic, Gil and Alys are a likeable detective couple and there were some lovely descriptions of the Highland scenery of Balquhidder. It's not deep or groundbreaking but it was a perfect light read.

I just picked this up on a whim from the new book shelf at my library, and was not expecting much from it. To my surprise, it is a nice little story and a pretty good little mystery. I enjoyed it a lot; it is apparently the sixth in a series and I am off to hunt up the other five.

I did like this one a lot. The mystery was fascinating, and I enjoyed the new view into Robert Montgomery’s character. [Sept. 2010]
