Imagine my shock when I picked this Glasgow gem up in a Blackpool charity shop last year! Great reading in my own dialect 👌🏻

My first thought was “How can they understand our lingo down here?!” 🤣

My current read. Fever of The Bone by Val McDermid, the 6th book in her Dr Tony Hill and DCI Carol Jordan series. 📚

What are you reading at the moment? 📖

Finished The Mermaids Singing by Val McDermid earlier. A great introduction to the Tony Hill/Carol Jordan series. However, I would advise to skip it if you’re the queasy type!

Luckily, I’m not. 🤣

Just recently finished reading Broken Ground by @valmcdermid.bsky.social - another amazing read! 📖

Just one more book to read in the Karen Pirie series, Out of Bounds, then that’s me caught up until Silent Bones is released! 👌🏻

#whittlespublishing when they make it across here, supplied this title by #NeilGunn to me last year.

Remember, we’ve seen tumultuous times before, we just need to remember where to look. 👀 #scottishauthors

It should also be available to order from any bookshop, and it's also available internationally (ISBN:978-1909832893). I'm still sorting out some local stockists, and I'll let you know once these are available.
