The Coffinmakers Garden by Stuart McBride

 5*

This was a great novel, I really loved all the Scottish expressions, it was refreshing.

The characters were well written, the killers disturbing and Henderson is a great anti-hero.

The Scottish setting was intriguing and the plot fast paced, I’d like to read more of Henderson’s exploits in the future.

Tall Bones by Anna Bailey

 4*

A little slow to start with but once it got going, wow!

An atmospheric thriller set in a small almost backward town of godfearing hypocrites that take the law into themselves when a girl goes missing.

The characters were well written and each one had a good back story behind them like poor Abi and her brothers.

The plot, once it got going, settled into a good pace with a few twists that left me guessing, even leaving an optimistic opening at the end.

A Good solid story for a cold winters eve.
