Unabridged Audiobook
A great tale! Multi-faceted not only describing the cop culture of the times (beyond the cliches), but also the socio-cultural and economic climate Glasgow of the 80’s. A period of change when the city was shedding its mid-century depression and investing in its renewal. Well narrated, even if all the accents weren’t Scottish! Looking forward to this author’s next novel.
A solid crime novel with good characters and story, well paced and well written. I loved all the Glasgow noir. The authors local Gorbals knowledge was evident as was his police experience. The narration pace was good, but it was quite flat in tone and I felt the emphasis on many of the sentences felt off. Some of the voices attempted were bad. He did some other accents which were decent but I didn’t understand why he used them (other than to try and differentiate) and was off-putting Overall a good first book
An average read, being a whodunnit, it keeps the listener engaged right up to the end. Written by an ex policeman, it gives some idea about the lives of Scottish policemen in Glasgow.
not a bad listen.
Sadly the narrator put me off completely. I tried to stick with it but in the end I had to quit!!
Wow! For a first book, this one is stunning!!! Great storyline, a new kind of detective that I really just love and none of the standard clichés that seem to appear in so many other books! What a great author and someone I will be looking for from here on out!!!! I can see why there are so many five stars on both the author and the reader! A great listen that will have you cheering at the end!
