This isn't the kind of book I'd normally select for myself (someone left it in my Little Free Library). Tales of Moral Descent are generally too dark for my taste. Which is why I wish there were more than five stars--it takes immense talent to make m

"This is a very dark, depressing, gritty read. It also might be a challenging one for those unfamiliar with the Glasgow dialect-- not unlike the Edinburgh dialect in Welsh's Trainspotting.
It shares other similarities with Welsh's novel. Shuggie Bain i" Read more of this review » |

| A compelling mystery with unforgettable characters set against gorgeous backdrops in the Lake District and Nepal. This is a well constructed tale that's a pleasure to read and goes by much too fast! Very much looking forward to this author's next boo ...more | |

"Wonderful Start
There are two short novellas in this book, and they are the beginning of a series I will gobble up ASAP. Simon Pearce is a perfectly drawn closeted Victorian who is an almost accidental constable but in truth a remarkably prescient and" Read more of this review » |

of
A Study in Spectres (Simon Pearce Mysteries, #1):
"This book contains the first 2 of 8 short stories that make up the arc for Simon Pearce, a Constable in Scotland Yard in the 1880s. Simon is a modern man, with a bent for science and evidence, and a disdain for superstition. He's also a gay man, alth"

“God made mud.
God got lonesome.
So God said to some of the mud, "Sit up!"
"See all I've made," said God, "the hills, the sea, the
sky, the stars."
And I was some of the mud that got to sit up and look
around.
Lucky me, lucky mud.
I, mud, sat up and saw what a nice job God had done.
Nice going, God.
Nobody but you could have done it, God! I certainly
couldn't have.
I feel very unimportant compared to You.
The only way I can feel the least bit important is to
think of all the mud that didn't even get to sit up and
look around.
I got so much, and most mud got so little.
Thank you for the honor!
Now mud lies down again and goes to sleep.
What memories for mud to have!
What interesting other kinds of sitting-up mud I met!
I loved everything I saw!
Good night.
I will go to heaven now.
I can hardly wait...
To find out for certain what my wampeter was...
And who was in my karass...
And all the good things our karass did for you.
Amen.”
