I liked it, but it was a long read, and not fast-paced. I will definitely be reading another book by Val, but I am unsure if I will stick with this series, or go with another.

ITV is filming it first series based on Pirie and as i love McDermid's Scottish Noir so I thought it time to start this series. Karen Pirie hardly appears in this first book, coming in at the end, when the case eis now a cold case. Val is a master a re-telling 70/80s Scotland and i really enjoyed this one
