4.0 out of 5 stars A real page turner... 19 Aug 2002
By Mark McCartney
Format:Hardcover
I sat down at 9pm on Friday night to read this book, and couldn't stop. First it was 'oh, I'll stop at midnight', then 'I'll quit at 1am', then, 'Sure I'll just keep going 'til 2.' By 3 I'd completely given in & finally finished the book shortly after 5am!
All in all a good read. One mildly irritating quirk; because the is is a book set in Scotland but written by an American
some Americanisms such as 'side walk' 'soda' 'block' and 'graduate school' occur. Such words and phrases are not used in the UK & spoiled the narrative slightly. But only slightly!Also there isn't a 'St. Annes' university in the UK, nor a college (to my knowledge).

I liked some aspects of the verbal tour round St Andrews, particularly the glancing reference to one of my favourite old haunts - Quarto Bookshop.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great New Series! 8 Mar 2002
By R. Patterson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This book is a delicious treat for fans of British police procedurals. And if you're a golfer, you're in for a bonus. Chief Inspector Byram St. George won't be chasing any killers on foot (bad leg and too much weight). His forte is sound detective work. (Think of Holmes in the body of Sebastion Cabot.) And before the crime is solved, golf fans are taken for a divot-by-divot tour of the courses at St. Andrews that will have them clutching the volume with an over-lapping grip. I highly recommend this book.
