LoveReading Says

These stories dance with death and crime and murder, they’re compelling and fascinating too as they join and link with twelve Scottish landmarks. The locations are pivotal to each story, twisting with the words and acting as witness. The book also includes a map and information about each building which means no doubt, that you’ll be adding to your list of places to visit by the time you finish. The twelve Scottish author’s are well known, and two are co-founders of crime writing festival Bloody Scotland. James Crawford, from Historic Environment Scotland, explains in his introduction: “…these stories offer a perfect demonstration of the incredible wealth of creative literary talent in Scotland today, Scottish crime writing has carved out a formidable reputation. Our authors can entertain and they can shock. And they are fearless when it comes to tackling many of the issues at the heart of contemporary society, shining lights into some of the darkest corners”. Short stories can be just as powerful, just as rich and fascinating as their longer kin, and these twelve wonderful tales range in subject and through time. The stories run from the intricate and explosive, to the amusing and wise, and all of them bite. Fiercely compelling, Bloody Scotland contains twelve short but mighty and provocative tales that come as highly recommended by our team.
