The Bonnie Dead: A Scottish Detective Mystery (DCI Lomond Crime Thrillers)

Product Information

As you can see the story is unhinged. While we have a sturdy build up of the main character and a very detailed description of Scotland’s cities and highways… the actual subject of the novel is left guessing. Almost like after thoughts they meant to work out later. The story takes place at the end of the Kim Jun-Il era, and Han finds himself guiding two western tourists through the Korean Capital. What he doesn’t know is that the two tourists have a secret of their own. They are a successful journalist looking to take their career to the next level by exposing North Korea’s totalitarian regime to its people.

Characters like mowat are introduced and then dumped when they have no more use. The man broke into a private residence (as did the cop btw) and no one does anything… when you write a police procedural… know the procedures. Lone Ranger bs is not an option. This was the first book in what promises to be an absolutely brilliant series. The characters in this book that we were introduced to were deep in their own ways as well as relatable. The storyline was dark and chilling with plenty of twists along the way, with the conclusion finishing the story off brilliant at the end. This book was right up my street, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I can’t wait for the next instalment!

Han is a collector and dedicated reader of banned books. When he encounters Mae, the two create a bond, and they begin attending a secret book club together, which eventually leads them down a dangerous path.

Scottish noir seems to be all the rage lately, with series after series set in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and the like. Some are good, some not so good. This book has to be one of the best. Despite emphasizing of the North Korean regime, The Limits of the World can also be considered a Cold War spy novel. Andrew Raymond does a fantastic job of detailing the North Korean realm where the main character lives. It is obvious that the author did extensive research into the country and the secrets, and most about this secretive government. The author also does a fantastic job in creating two believable western journalists trying to infiltrate and expose the dark side of DPRK.Shot through with dark Glaswegian humour and thrilling twists, he captures the voices of his beloved home city, taking you into its hidden depths, and the iconic hills and glens of nearby Loch Lomond and Arran. Hello? You are indicating that a paedophile succumbed to his urges 20 years ago…yet somehow there are 10 years between one murder and the other. It is said the man was fired for grooming! In an online chat but no one did anything, not even open a case AND his colleague knew about his preferences but didn’t even come forward then? How did he meet Sharon? Why did the collude? There is no history behind this… With the assistance of a CIA officer and an intelligence analyst, the two reporters discover evidence of a conspiracy involving the British government, the white house, and a dark deep state organization.
