Laidlaw by William McIlvanney

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The Grandfather of Tartan Noir, McIlvanney writes evocatively about the mean side of Seventies Glasgow. Great main character, well -drawn minor characters, writes like a dream.

Every Scottish crime writer owes a debt of gratitude to William McIlvanney.

I'm currently reading the Kindle version of my own novel, Death Comes Calling, which was published just this weekend.

So, why am I reading my own novel?

Well, it's actually a while since I read even the final draft, so it it's good to read it in book format with new eyes, the way it was intended to be read.

And secondly, I'll be starting to write Book 2 in the Inspector Gore series, The Dying of the Light, and its good to read Book 1, Death Comes Calling, immediately beforehand so I get the feel of the main characters and the rhythm of their speech patterns just right, and to check details continuity-wise.

I received a very nice comment this evening from a reader about 'Death Comes Calling', which was published last weekend

"Memorably gory chilling and terrifying too, especially as it hurtled to its conclusion!
Many of your narrator's world-weary obsevations certainly made me smile."
