Product Description

Product Description

Your best mate just fell off a cliff in mysterious circumstances and you were the last person to see him alive. What do you do? Well, if you're David Lindsay from Arbroath, you get the hell out of there and don't return. Not for at least fifteen years. Until Nicola Cruickshank - yes, that Nicola, the girl you always fancied but never had the guts to approach - gets in touch and asks - no, demands - that you go back for a school reunion. To the place where it happened. The place you've been running from for fifteen years. Of course you go. Not to belatedly lay your mate to rest, but because you still fancy Nicola. The thing is, if you are David Lindsay, then returning to Arbroath isn't going to lay any ghosts to rest. And when someone else takes a dive off the cliffs - an act the locals have taken to calling 'tombstoning' - while David's there, he has a choice: run away again, or finally find out why people keep dying around him . . .

Although not as good as the author's novel "Hit and Run", this book is worth a read. I found it a little bit repetitive and predictable, not quite matching the high expectations I had harboured.

3.0 out of 5 stars Title sounds good 18 Mar 2013

The first half of the book had me hooked but as it came near the end it just got
a bit silly. I had figured out who done it by early in the second half.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sank Like A Stone 3 Nov 2008
Format:Paperback
It is some time since I have read a book as bad as this and how Christopher Brookmyre can endorse it is beyond me.
The storyline is weak and the ending is so predictable.Of course the author has to pad it out with a plethora of foul language,a touch of violence and some outdoor sex.
Be warned,this book is dire!!
