This 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.

Andrew65 This is another pulsating and fast moving book with plenty of action, great characters and a certain amount of tension which is maintained throughout the book This keeps up the really high standard of the first book and has a great central character who works his way into your affection, being set in Scotland only adds to the attraction for me. 3y
Andrew65 I would certainly strongly recommend this book to those that love crime fiction with great plotting, great characters and pulsating action. I can‘t wait for book 3! 3y

Day 57.
Here I will note 365 books (or as many as I will have before I get tired) that have shaped my taste in literature. No explanations, no reviews. Just the cover of the book.
I do not challenge anyone. You are all welcome to take part.

A great collection of short stories which got me through exam season. Somerset Maughan has a very witty writing style and his use of circumstantial humor is delightful, with the Creative Impulse standing out.

Published as one of a series of forgotten gems, a very compelling read; a gentleman falls overboard a ship and contemplates his life as well as death. Just enough time is spent on the other characters in the story that it doesn't distract from the main character's ordeal.
