Why I read It
The final part to the Garnethill trilogy.
The Good
Excellent book that pulls all the plot lines from the first two books together

The Bad
Not much. This book exemplifies what tartan noir is all about.
The Ugly (my opinion)
While each book had its own independent mystery, the overall story was very satisfying and draws to solid conclusion. Like all Scottish crime books, it makes me never want to visit, let alone at night.
