3.0 out of 5 stars Good story, but..., 12 May 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wild Island (Jemima Shore Mystery) (Paperback)
At the time this book first appeared, Scottish nationalism was very much news, as it seems to be again now. The story here gains from being set against such a background and including a number of interesting characters to interact with the heroine. Unfortunately, she herself seems to exist solely for the purpose of providing a centre around which events take place. She initiates nothing and contributes little to the situation's eventual resolution. Worth reading nevertheless, especially as the writing has a seamless quality you don't often find in detective stories.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jemima and hollywood scots, 5 Sep 2009
By Shelflife (Fulham, London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wild Island (Penguin crime fiction) (Paperback)
Jemima Shaw works best in a metropolitan setting. In this episode of Lady Antonia's crime-soap-series, our heroine finds herself in a Scotland of Nationalism and Heritage that has more than a few echoes of American popular portrayals of Scotland and Ireland in shows such as Murder She Wrote. Nonetheless, despite the winceable romanticism, this somehow works, probably because it marries Fraser the crime writer with Fraser the popular historian. To be read whilst wearing tartan and eating oats, thistles and shortbread.
