In the mood for an Inspector Rebus mystery. Ian Rankin always pleases.

A darkly funny crime story set in Glasgow. Trigger warning for violence. DI Alison McOist (Ally McOist in Glasgow is a constant joke) is suspected by colleagues of being dodgy but is pulled into various crimes in which a local car wash seems central. When a local gangster who Ally wants to nail is interested in the car wash, the plot thickens. Really great characters + a dark plot meant this was a cracking read altho very dark and violent.
He really believed it was a madcap game. A joke. A dare, played out between old friends.

I LOVE Jenny Colgan! I laugh and cry and smile my whole way through every book she writes. This one is no exception. I dream about going back to Scotland too
A beautifully written, short novel; one of the best I‘ve read in the past few months. As the evils of Highland Clearances draw to a close, and set on a remote island, the lives of Reverend John Ferguson and islander Ivar intertwine. Attempting to raise money for his yet unfounded church, John accepts a commission from a wealthy landowner to remove Ivan from the only home he‘s known. Davies gives us love and hope in equal measure. It will heal you
Dr. Emilia McRoy moved to a small Scottish village for a fresh start, and Sea Isle is starting to feel like home. She has a small circle of friends, and one of them is getting married at a lavish estate. As the wedding festivities get underway, a body is found, but the victim isn‘t a guest or staff. Then the bride is targeted, and Emilia aims to find out who wants to hurt her friend.
