A review by joannareads
1979 by Val McDermid

4.0

Finally, I read my first Val McDermid book in July. The set up for 1979 really intrigued me as it is the start of a series where we will go back and revisit our main character Allie Burns every decade (the sequel is 1989).

I love this idea and can’t wait to see how Allie, a journalist at the bottom of the pile in a local newsroom, will fare through the decades.

Allie was a really likeable character to me, and I can’t wait to see what she is up to in 1989.
