Based on previous posts about what's coming up in Scottish crime fiction in 2010, here's a summary by month. Let me know if I've missed any out. And now, over to you. What are you looking forward to crime fiction wise (Scottish or otherwise) in 2010. Let me know either in the comments or via e-mail to the usual address and I'll draw two random lucky winners who will each receive a copy of Tony Black's LOSS, which is the one I'm most looking forward to in January. Of course, you'll have to wait until January to get your prize but if you've read the first two in the series, you know it will be worth waiting for.

I'm looking forward to Alex Gray's because it sounded really interesting from her talk at the book festival in August.
ReplyDeleteI've not read any Tony Black yet, but I'm always open to new (to me) authors who come with such wonderful recommendations :-)

Probably Stuart MacBrides new Logan McRae book. I read HALFHEAD but can't say I really enjoyed it. While the McRae books have gory , disgusting bits they have a strong sense of humour to balance them. HALFHEAD was just gore - the literary equivalent of a video nasty.
ReplyDeleteTim - I read and enjoyed her first one.
ReplyDeleteJim - I enjoy the logan McRae's - I'm not sure that Halfhead is for me - although I'm tempted because I think it's set in Glasgow?
You are both in the draw for the Tony Blacks - thank you for your comments!
