August 2018 Value Book Read - The Gathering Murders, by Keith Moray

[Beth]

This was an ok read for me. I felt that the pacing was off; it plodded along until the last 10% of the book!

Not much in the way of character development. I didn't like Fiona; perhaps we aren't meant to

I will be starting this some time today.

I did enjoy the references to bagpipes as I played the pipes for 30 years, but never got interested in Piobaireachd (the equivalent of classical music, for bagpipes). I have seen an old transcript of Canntaireachd, though! But I did wonder if your average, non-Piper reader, would find those paragraphs superfluous or distracting

I have to admit I am having difficulty getting into this. I picked it up three times now and read about the first three pages and put it down tempted by one of my other books. I am going to try again tomorrow!

I can understand that, AngryGreyCat. It's is a mediocre read. What's missing, do you think???

[Beth]

Quite right, David! There have been a few I have never finished I would try another from the author
