Product Description

Product Description

"I want you to find who killed my son."
Craig Campbell's quiet life as an insurance investigator is turned upside down when Ann Kilpatrick hires him to find her son's killer. He doesn't believe he can help but reluctantly agrees to investigate.
Before long he is plunged into a world of corruption, deceit and greed. His journey takes him from the underbelly of Glaswegian society to the rural idyll of a millionaire's mansion.
Along the way, a death close to home ensures that he has a personal reason to face the dangers and bring the murderer to justice.

I really enjoyed this book. The storyline was well structured with credible characters and an interesting plot. It was good to have a 'normal' guy narrating the story and the Glasgow setting was a bonus for me. I hope this is just the first of a long series!

I really enjoyed this. It made a change to read about a decent human being. I have just purchased the next book.

Not impressed 14 Jan 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Unfortunately the story resembled an essay written by an intelligent 17 year old rather than a book produced by a professional novelist. The stereotypical group of friends were predictable and lifeless and whilst the story moved along, it stuttered rather than flowed. All in all however it was OK but even at 99p I would not recommend it to anyone. Realising that a publisher found this good enough to produce in volume does give hope to all those who feel they "have at least one book in them" which is a shame because the plot was good and the descriptions of Glasgow engaging if not a trifle irrelevant and self indulgent.

A surprisingly good read
This was bought on impulse, written by an author I did not know. The story was written in a 'simple manner' and was thoroughly enjoyed.

OK - But
This was in no way a disappointment but it does have a 2D quality to it that makes it rather questionable - at 99 pence though who can complain ? Read more

Liked it.
I enjoyed this book - it was less than a pound to buy and so I did not expect an expertly written, accomplished novel. Read more

Very good read
I normally only read in bed before going to sleep (two or three pages} but I read this book well within a week. It was such a good story that I wanted to see what happened next. Read more

An enjoyable read
A very enjoyable mid-weight detective novel. Plausible, well written, without superfluous detail. I look forward to reading his next novel. If you want the plot buy the book!

Disappoints
Not a bad story line and a good sense of place (the mean streets of Glasgow), but the action is bogged down by tediously inconsequential detail and a pedestrian writing style. Read more
