MEDIA REVIEWS
A perfect literary treat for a rainy Sunday afternoon.With sharp wit and an Agatha Christie-style ability to create a lively cast of characters,this is an intriguing historical mystery.A great pinch of humour and a sprinkling of absurdity,McPherson beautifully evokes the feelings and images of post-war Edinburgh.
