Scottish Field

The Shadow of the Black Earl

- BY CHARLES E. MCGARRY

£8.99 ★★★ ★★ Private detective Leo Moran returns with this new murder mystery. This will keep you guessing because the author manages to create characters that are refreshing­ly different while effortless­ly weaving Scottish history into this book, making for an intriguing narrative. The protagonis­t Leo, who enjoys the finer things in life, is an especially original character. McGarry’s long descriptio­ns can verge on the excessive but create a delightful­ly vivid image. Overall well worth a read.
