i borrowed this book from kak masita which seems only to cumulate dust in her office. since she was pretty ignorant about the book being on her shelf, i decided to borrow them :)
the novel lingers around the story and the problems dealt n faced by an inspector in edinburgh.
it was a slow read for the first quarter of the book but once u got familiar with all of its characters (which is not much), u'll start to get cosy with the book.
it discusses of a psychopathic killer who was detained in US but wanted to be back in edinburgh for unknown solid reason. it discusses ofpaedophiles, of old flames, of teenage rage, spoilt rich brats, of cross dressers, of unstable intimate relationships. all in all, it is a town's detective drama.
i love the language coz it's simple and the things or features discussed are imaginable :)
