This could have been 3 stars if things had gone a different way. The writing style was quite engaging and fluent. But it was a fairly low-key plot, til the end. Maybe I shouldn’t demand so much believability from books, but it was another that felt ungrounded in reality!
For example, the ending was just fckin crazy.
It also didn’t feel very Scottish at all, which was a shame
