Holmes, Reviews and Nightmares

An article on the new Sherlock Holmes film. And the lovely Rafe McGregor gives us Sherlock Holmes for beginners.

Reviews abound - first of all Gerard Brennan with a review of the very intriguing sounding Liam McIlvanney's ALL THE COLOURS OF THE TOWN. Next, a review of Allan Guthrie's wonderful KISS HER GOODBYE. And the Independent reviews Christopher Brookmyre's PANDAEMONIUM.

And, finally, Robert Louis Stevenson's worst nightmare set to music. Hmmmmmmmmmmm, I wonder whether anyone wants to set my nightmare about having to eat my way out of the middle of an enormous treacle sponge pudding to music. Actually, on second thoughts, that wasn't so much a nightmare as a fantasy...

  1. Thanks for the link, Donna! I'm looking forward to my next Scottish novel. I've a choice between Neil Forsyth and Charlie Williams in my bookcase. Gotta a few Northern Irish review copies to get through first, though.

    Cheers

  2. I look forward to hearing about the Neil Forsyth - it sounds like a good one and I've had it on my To Be Bought list for a while. I wish we could claim Charlie Williams for Scotland! I love his books.

  3. Why did I think Williams was Scottish...? Couldn't have been a senior moment. I'm only a pup!
