An excellent, fast-moving crime comedy, set in the Highlands of Scotland
Journalist Adam Darnow is sent to Scotland with two colleagues with instructions to produce an advertising piece.
However, he quickly becomes entangled in the machinations of the ominously ambitious Inverannan Estate owner and possible gangster, Galloglas. The assignment quickly turns into an investigation, where solving the mystery might be the only way to escape from the highlands. Set out fascinatingly with flashback chapters entwined with the main narrative, The Inverannan Assignment is a stunning, fast-moving fusion of dark comedy, crime and mystery, keeping readers guessing to the end.
Reviewers Comments: An extraordinary piece of fiction Violent, intriguing and often funny as hell Brilliant fun, start to finish
Goodreads Really enjoyable book, not a wasted word and Scottish settings and characters were brought to life with great energy. It's written in different points of view for each of the chapters (with some being flashbacks to the main characters school and uni stories at the start) and I really liked the way the different threads merged towards the end. Looked it was setting up a sequel as you couldn't guess the ending if you tried, maybe not a whodunnit, more like a what the****!
Goodreads Great novel, I enjoyed the characterisation and the locations. The book gathers pace as it goes and improves as well. Chapters are short and keep you guessing at the end of each one, so I ended up reading it really quickly. Hope there is another as I'd love to know what happens next.
