Delightful to spend some more time with Bertie and the people connected to 44 Scotland Street, set in Edinburgh. You get a real feel for Edinburgh through the lives of the different characters. Can‘t wait to jump into the next book in the series. Thoroughly recommended.

5th book finished for #JubilantJuly

Hoping to read a bit of this each day, alongside my book of the day as I hope to read 11 books during the #JubilantJuly Readathon

I finished my work lunch read today after several months. Its not that it was a dense read,in fact the opposite, but I very rarely actually do sit and read with a sandwich. Anyway these are very gentle vignettes of middle class Edinburgh life with short sections about the curious characters but a far cry from my normal Edinburgh fayre based on which I would assume that beautiful city to be awash with villains and the police who pursue them.

TrishB That‘s a great lunch pic 👍🏻 4y
