so-soI always love a bit of Murder and mayhem!! Agatha Christie never disappoints! This was my first James Oswald novel and I admit I was a bit underwhelmed. It just seemed a bit slow and lacked the atmosphere that‘s so important in the murder genre.
I did like Tony McLean the investigator however. ⭐️⭐️⭐️📚3 stars from me
pickThe seventh in this series which combines police procedural with a supernatural twist, finds the ever likeable inspector McLean juggling his personal life with an investigation into the bizarre murder of a former police officer who became a drug dealer then charity boss. Some interesting new police characters with old favourites and return of a nasty villain has me looking forward to book 8.
pickAnother really good instalment in the The Inspector McLean Series. This detective series is set in Edinburgh and always has a touch of the supernatural in it. On this occasion this came quite late in the book with a return of an ‘evil‘ character from a previous book who almost cost Tony his life on the previous encounter. A strange murder sets the scene, and the key question is how did the body end up in a tree. A great new character introduced.👇
pickWhen a body is found in a tree in The Meadows, Edinburgh's scenic parkland, the forensics suggest the corpse has fallen from a great height. Detective Inspector Tony McLean wonders whether it was an accident, or a murder designed to send a chilling message? This is another great installment from James Oswald. Some of the old characters but a new character which is an added asset. The supernatural aspect of the book is good and not overdone.
Started reading Written in Bones, this is Book 7 in the Inspector McLean Series by James Oswald. The series is set in Edinburgh, and usually has an element of the supernatural in it. It is a series I really enjoy, and it has a great lead character. Definitely recommend the series.
This is the schedule for the #GroupRead of Written in Bones by James Oswald that I am leading on Librarything starting on Thursday, all welcome to join. 😊
This is Book 7 in the excellent Inspector Tony McLean Series which is set in Edinburgh. I do recommend it highly. The first book is Natural Causes.
Was at the Edinburgh book festival yesterday, got to meet James Oswald, got my book signed. May have bought more than one book actually lol #jamesoswald #crimefiction #scottishcrimefiction
