I picked this book up at the Kensington book festival, the town where i grew up. I was curious about the book, as I had recently read that the author was terminally ill, and in fact he has since died. I was also attracted by the Scottish locale of the book. I have traveled in Scotland and have a Scottish heritage. But the book is very disturbing, not for everyone. All the main characters are mentally Unbalanced. The narrator describes several gruesome acts he has committed. All very meticulously observed.
