Way too much back story with no real plot.  Tedious and rather boring.  Found myself bored and did not care about one character at all.

A great yarn, loved the Edinburgh inside jokes. 

Adored this so much, it was incredibly funny, intriguing. Really good fun.

Jackson Brodie steps in to help defuse a road-rage incident in Edinburgh. He, the rager and the ragee, and another witness bounce off each other in a variety of ways over the next few days as various storylines come together. 

Funny in places and a few too many flashbacks to characters' early lives, but still good to see how it all fitted together. Martin was the character I identified with most strongly and I wish his story hadn't concluded quite the way it did.

Sequel to Case Histories. I do love when the threads (mostly) come together at the end! Not as compelling as the first, but still solid. 3.5 stars, rounded down.
