“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.

“Not that common to get a football thriller of any quality, but best-selling author and one I like a lot, has done just that.
He is a footie fan and this book shows off his skills as a writer and also someone who knows a bit about football too.
Nothing too heavy, a decent page turner. 6.5/10

“A fresh new thriller novelist who has climbed the bestseller list.
An interesting angle in that his books are threaded with a missing persons theme.
