I enjoyed the first book in the 44 Scotland Street series and wanted to know more about the varied Edinburgh residents introduced therein. I wasn't disappointed and will read the books that followed Expresso Tales. The series is really an up-market soap-opera that is particularly appealing, I think, to those of us who know Edinburgh well. There are some in-jokes and mild satire about the prejudices and foibles particular to residents of different districts of the city. The mutual distrust between Edinburgh and Glasgow is humorously described. These books make comfortable bedtime reading that will make you laugh but won't keep you awake at night.

Mairi Hedderwick is a firm family favourite a pithy and witty writer who is equally talented as an illustrator. Her Hebridean children's books give an endearing snapshot into the life on a small island community through the eyes of accidental-mischief-maker Katie Morag.

I'm particularly fond of Katie Morag and the Two Grandmothers - the tensions between the two grannies will ring very true in a lot of families (not mine of course, Mum - honest!) and there are some lovely touches which will go over the children's heads and entertain the grown-up reading aloud, which is always good if you have to keep re-reading the books. The illustrations are also rich with incidental detail which help keep the attention of the child.

In the last week I have finished both Night Song of the Last Tram and Somewhere to Lay My Head, often reading them until 3.00am or 4.00am in the morning as I simply could not put them down. I have today been out to buy the last instalment At Her Majesty's Pleasure. I cannot wait to start it. I feel I have walked through the streets of Glasgow, Blackburn and Bathgate with Robert Douglas so vivid is his descriptions of life growing up and his teenage years. I have laughed and cried in equal amounts as I turned the pages. He really makes the 40s/50s and 60s come to life. I would recommend this book as a must read, and will be passing the copies I have to anyone who wants to share my love of these books - with the proviso that they are returned to ... Read More:

Quintin Jardine writes a number of serial style books about recurring characters. One of his recurring characters is Bob Skinner, the Deputy Chief Constable for the Edinburgh area of Scotland. By all accounts he's typical of most detectives these days. He bends rules when he needs to, and breaks them when he has no other alternative, but unlike most rule breaking cops, is liked by those he works with (and so has few of the flaws that are typically associated with the flawed detective).

The problem with this book is that Skinner doesn't appear in much of the book. Imagine having a Rankin book with a marginalised Rebus or a Christie crime novel with a marginalised Poirot or Marple and you've got an idea of what to expect here.
