The Dark Remains by William McIlvanney
5.0
I never read anything by William McIlvanney before but I love Tartan Noir so the blurb and Ian Rankin make me request this arc.
That said it's a gripping, gritty, atmospheric and dark thriller. I was hooked since the beginning and fell in love with the style of writing and the storytelling.
I have to confess that i'm able to tell who wrote but I can surely say it is well written, well plotted and the characters are vivid.
The descriptions, the atmosphere brought me back in time and it is an exciting read.
Please do not expect a Rebus mystery as this story it's on the darker side of Tartan Noir.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
