DUPLICITY: A compelling Scottish murder mystery (Detective Inspector Munro murder mysteries Book 4)

Love reading this series & find I'm doing so with the accent of my birth! Amazing from one who has lived in England for so long - thank you!Fiona

I loved this book. I have given it five stars but would have given it more if I could. Loved the characters and the humour between them was great. Well done Pete Brassett.

I read and reviewed 'Avarice' a year ago. I could use the same words to describe this book. The Scottish vernacular grates after the first few chapters, but the story line is good and the lead characters are a strong pairing. Will I wait twelve months before diving into another book in the series? Possibly. Not because it's not a decent series, but there are so many others in the same genre on my TBR list that I want to get to.

I have seven books on my Kindle I chose to read, so why am I neglecting them in favour of following this series? I am now off to buy the next volume.... that says it sll! Highly recommend.

This is a light hearted whodunnit. Easy to read. I'd look up another in the series when I wanted an easy distraction. I liked the characters. The twisting storyline kept me interested.There was a tendency to begin chapters with a rambling sentence. Why? There was an irritating inability to get the timing right with concurrent events eg people drink coffee/ eat a sandwich/make three phone calls in the time it takes to say two sentences. Otherwise the writing is good, if over flippant.

A convoluted murder mystery complicated by a cast of characters all of who have secrets to protect and constantly lie to or about each other when questioned. The case is investigated by an under resourced local police team headed by an old fashioned semi retired police officer who is passing through but stays on to help out an old mate. Despite the heavy issues of drug dealing and extortion much of the police banter is light with many a wise-crack added for good measure along with a rising body count and hidden levels of criminality in a small Scottish community that appears almost idyllic to the casual observer.

Good old Scottish folk. Very good characters. Well worth a read. Makes a change for a book to be in Proper English and no American.

Loved this book as well as the others in the seried.
