Rezensionen

I've been waiting years to read a truly gripping historical crime novel set in Glasgow. That wait is over. Edge of the Grave is astounding. Tense, absorbing and dripping with gallus Glasgow humour, this book is absolutely wonderful Abir Mukherjee, bestselling author of the Wyndham & Banerjee series
