Tartan, Bloody Tartan
ISBN: 2951430515 Global Overview for this book
8 journalers for this copy...
But when murder takes place, all hell breaks loose. A disappearing kilt, a glimpsed dress, a will, jealousy and lies conspire to confuse the participants, among whom there are as many suspects as investigators.
An intrigue "in camera" which combines passion with a dash of insolence... and the world of the Summer School.

...and back to me
Been there - Done it?
Written by dancers of the Summer School, you can get a lot of the atmosphere.
The story itself is not that strong but nice.
I bought and read it during Summer School. Strange feeling - but no copycat - thank godness ;-)
I gave to book to a friend and dancer who will be there this year.
The book is now travelling to Scholly.
Thats why I was very interessted to read this book. But my knowledge of the language is not very well. And I didn´t got right into the story. And to read in English needs much more time than in german. So I send this little book to the next person in the ring.
Freue mich schon darauf, es zu lesen!
Oh, I got this book already last week but forgot to make an entry, sorry. I'm looking forward to start reading!

Ich habe das Buch gern gelesen, das Englisch ist nicht allzu schwer. Vom Inhalt her war es auch für mich als "Nicht-Schottische-Tänzerin" interessant zu lesen!
Das Buch geht voraussichtlich erstmal an KYH zrück, da sich Audrey nicht auf meine PM gemeldet hat.
If there is someone else out there who want to read is, please send me a PM

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Per Post an akkolady untewegs...
But the view on the organisating RSCDS isn't really a positive one. Hope the authors didn't get any problems ;-)
Sometimes the book felt a bit old-fashioned, but style and story were as good as many crime-stories published by big companies.
I'm not really into Scottish Dancing, but since I'm a piper I knew most of the terms without needing the glossary.
This is a sound crime story, I think. Nothing really thrilling or challenging, but it reminded me of the good old whodunnits that I like a lot.
Just one aspect that really disturbed me at the end: Raphaelle's excessive meditation about discriminated women who had to give up their jobs to stay at home and care for the children. The story really could have done without that.
I've already PMed KYH, so the book can travel home (or further) as soon as I get an address.

And with such a nice scottish Ballycumber!
Nevertheless the atmospere in the Summer School must be something special. Thanks KYH for giving me the opportunity to read this.
