“A satisfactory murder mystery with well drawn characters.
Edinburgh, 1888. A talented violinist is brutally murdered in his home. Lovers of Sherlock Holmes might have a Marmite moment with this one. Black magic symbols cover the walls and two opposite detectives have to work together to solve the case.
Book club scored at 5.5/10 me 6/10

“Want a good crime thriller, look no further than The Murder Bag.
Usually known for Ladlit, Man and Boy etc. I did like the novel Stories We Could Tell. This however is a departure from what you’d expect, a darker side.
This is a London based murder, a detective, lots of murder.
Pretty good and worth the read 7/10

Score 7/10

“I really like Peter May’s Scottish mysteries.
This one has a real sense of place and he brings it alive.
My only gripe is the ending isn’t as strong as the rest of the story/plot, but don’t let that deter you from reading this very well done thriller. 7.5/10

Score 7.5/10
