New review! My thoughts about Sharks by Simone Buchholz @ohneklippo.bsky.social (pub'd @orendabooks.bsky.social thx @annerandomthings) - "Too many people will not face the justice system for various crimes. However, we are certain that things are not going to go well for them..."

Scotland becomes first UK country to allow water cremations The process - called alkaline hydrolysis - will offer families a third option instead of burial or traditional cremation.

Fans of the Skelfs series by @dougjohnstone.bsky.social take note of Scotland IRL following fiction...

Thought you'd like to see it! A satisfying number of Scottish writers in the crime section but face out and a review tag is extra special 😊

So many people we know on the shelves here!

Well, hello, Mr @dougskelton.bsky.social nice to see you in Newcastle!

Currently at @baytales.bsky.social ! Started yesterday with this haul from a charity shop - 50p each plus buy one get one free? It would have been rude not to 😁

New extract on the blog today! A sliver of Catherine by @essiefox.bsky.social (pub'd @orendabooks.bsky.social thx @annerandomthings.bsky.social): "Below the vast expanse of stars shining brightly in black skies we reach a house that stands alone and very high upon the moors..."

ICYMI...

As ever, my pleasure! See you on Wednesday for what I'm suspecting could be a sweary and hilarious launch 😁

Always a pleasure to review Doug's books!

New review! Tombstoning by @dougjohnstone.bsky.social (pub'd @orendabooks.bsky.social thx @annerandomthings.bsky.social) is being reissued and you should buy it and read it!
"All the elements of a Doug Johnstone novel are present and correct, and you should not hesitate to dive in."

If you're in Aberdeen, this is one not to miss!

I know! And short enough I might be able to sneak it in between homework reads 😁

I get very little bookpost these days (other than for specific reasons), so it's a real treat to have this new one from Stuart MacBride tumble through the letterbox 😊 Thanks to @laurasherlock21.bsky.social and @panmacmillan.bsky.social for thinking of me!

New interview! Emma Christie (pub'd @mountainleopard.bsky.social @headlinebooks.bsky.social) answers my questions about her journey to publication, her fave crime fiction characters and more! "I know now that the bad times always pass, and the plot holes always get filled"

If you haven't read The Wasp Factory and are an ebook reader, grab this deal! It's a terrific, dark, sneaky book that's definitely crime-adjacent imho. An absolute classic of modern Scottish literature.
