pickI liked the story better than the first book: the series characters are more established and there is no « character with mental illness off their meds who commits a murder », which I had a problem with in the first book. However, the actual corrupt cop at the heart of the scheme was kind of immaterial to the main plotline, so the ending was a bit flat in that regard. So a soft pick.
Time for a little nighttime knitting and reading

so-so#unpopularopinion I didn‘t love this. I didn‘t connect to Craigie or his coworkers and I did not care for the resolution. I loved the audiobook narrator‘s voice, but this may be something that works better in print. I may also just need a break from crime procedurals. Reading the McIlvanney Longlist is draining. 😂
pickThe second book featuring DS Max Craigie. A fisherman goes missing without a trace and a terrified young man jumps off a bridge to his death; both events seem connected and Craigie is determined to find out how. This a wonderful police procedural set in Scotland. The banter between Craigie and his team is well done. I will definitely go back and read the first book. Thanks to HQ Stories and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review.
pickThis is the 2nd book in the Max Craigie Scottish Crime series. Max Craigie, Janie Calder and Ross Fraser are the main police characters back again. It's best to start with Book 1 to get the background on these characters. Tom Hardie was arrested and was sent to prison in book 1. He is plotting and planning to get back at Max. Tom is also heavy into dealing his drugs from his prison cell.

pickThis is book 2 in the DS Max Craigie series set in Scotland. I loved the first book.
The books starts off with a fisherman disappearing without a trace in the North of Scotland, and another man throwing himself off a bridge to his death. Both do not seem related but Max soon identifies connections, and as the investigation continues it seems to link to his nemesis who is currently residing in prison due to Max.
Starting the second book in the DS Max Craigie Series set in Scotland, which is die for publication next month. Loved the first one so looking forward to this. Always enjoy books set in Scotland for some reason. #SpiritualHome
Thanks to the publisher and #NetGalley for an ARC for a fair, open and honest review.

A bit late but here goes.
THE RIB CHUGGED steadily, its engine low, as it nosed into Loch Torridon.
