I got it in an Amazon promotion, although later found I'd read a short story by the author. This is a really entertaining and satisfying mystery. It's told by multiple narrators, which usually annoys me, but in this case was absolutely the right choice. ( ) This was my first read with the Scottish city of Glasgow as the setting, and the location felt as much part of the story as the characters thanks to the author's descriptions. This is a dark story, with a lot of blood, told in a quirkily humorous way. All the characters are well etched and that of Mackie's is in a league of its own. The action is fast paced and the perspective of the narrative shifts frequently. While this makes the book gripping, I had some trouble getting the timelines in order - had to go back and reread some chapters. Ways to Die in Glasgow is a quirky but entertaining read and I would love to follow through the series. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
