The Creative Joy of a Cold, Dead Winter Val McDermid’s new book evokes an earlier Scot’s love of the bleak.

"Winter trees were a poetic lodestar for Burns"

'Ev’n winter bleak has charms to me,
When winds rave thro’ the naked tree;
Or frosts on hills of Ochiltree
Are hoary gray;
Or blinding drifts wild-furious flee,
Dark’ning the day!'

Queen MacBeth, another great book from the Darkland Tales collection.
And the first outing for Allie Burns in 1979.
Both 👌.

I do love a good crime thriller & this one is just brilliant! Didn’t see the twist at the end. Genuinely a book I couldn’t put down.
