A good one if you're a fan and can't get enough. It's in no way a replacement for the book (or even the movie for that matter!) but more like a supplement for the die-hard fan.
As some of my more regular readers know, recently I've been making more of a foray into the swampland that is the mystery genre - and it is a common saying of mine that 10% of mysteries are great, 10% are terrible, and the 80% in the middle are just mediocre.

Unfortunately, I ended up just being "meh" about this book. A review I read for this book noted that the art i...
Set in Glasgow in the early eighties. The book had great descriptions of of the city, the class and sectarian divides of the time, and how a daily newspaper runs.
