Witness the Dead
Witness the Dead | Craig Robertson
3 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
Scottish Police are called to a murder scene in Glasgow's Northern Necropolis. The body of a young woman lies stretched out over a tomb in what looks like a ritualistic murder. Her body bears a three letter message from her killer, daubed in lurid red lipstick. In the 1970s, Danny Neilson was the detective working on the infamous Red Silk murders. Still haunted by the memory of the unsolved investigation, he spots a link between the new murders and those carried out by Red Silk - details that no copycat killer could have known about. But Archibald Atto, the man suspected of the killings all those years ago, is rotting in jail, so Danny has to face up to his fear that they never caught their man. Neilson goes with police photographer Tony Winter, to visit Archibald Atto in prison. But Atto will not speak to them unless it is on his terms. As clues begin to surface, they learn that they are dealing with a killer whose agenda is so terrifying and history so twisted that it will take the combined efforts of police forces past and present to make an arrest.

This was a pretty good book for my first experience with this series. The setting was a bigger draw than the plot for me, given that it's set in Glasgow. I liked the book well enough, although it is grim in places.

Swe_Eva Haven't read a juicy Scottish mystery in a while now. Not that I don't already have some on Mt. TBR... 😁 6y
rabbitprincess @Swe_Eva Haha the perennial issue! 😉 6y

Found this at my office "Little Free Library" (an empty bookshelf one of my colleagues commandeered for the purpose). I wonder who left it there? Would love to chat books with them ? (or get info on how scary this is ?)

Avanders That is such a good idea!! 6y
rabbitprincess @Avanders It is, but I'm not sure how well it's being used. Tempted to ask if I can send an email around to officially announce its existence. It's very informal at present. 6y
