As a change from murder mysteries.
It’s a pleasant enough read but, even though it was written in 1985, it could have been written 3 decades earlier. Such are the attitudes portrayed by the characters, plus, everyone is so clearly American. All those worlds, all those people and they all ‘sound’ as if they only came from a single country.

I enjoy this writer’s oeuvre, in particular the China-based novels.
This one has an interesting premise, being set in a year 2051 independent Scotland, suffering, along with the rest of the world, from global warming. It’s still a murder mystery and has the seemingly obligatory trope of a detective with a dysfunctional family and a drinking problem.* It’s developing nicely and I’m looking forward to a satisfying read.

* Is there some law or ancient charter that states detectives can’t be happily married teetotallers?

An enthralling thriller with more twists than a case of corkscrews.

That looks a good read, set in 1930s, described as ingenious and pacey

Frighteningly contemporary, as anyone who has read it will surely agree.

Competent police procedural; enough to pass the time enjoyably.

Not usually interested in naval history but this is fascinating.
