Just started reading that today. From what I've read so far there will be more of her books added to my collection.
i just started her first novel today
i need to find a way to stop sleeping tho as i have so many books now in my "unread" collection from either this thread or the other one looking for recommendations for a series of books
Sad news -the Scottish crime crime author William McIllvanney , widely considered to be one of if not thee original /founding father ofthe tartan noir genre has sadly passed away.:(

What are your early first impressions of Caro Ramsay?
One name not mentioned so far is Denzil Meyrick who is three books into a series featuring DCI Daley. Can't wait for the next instalment!
Being set in a rural location there is always the incredulity that so much crime can be found in such as a small place (as one poster wrote about the T F Muir books, which incidentally I'd also recommend) but that never stopped Colin Dexter and Morse in Oxford!

Arr I see somebody else has also posted this 👍
I'm delighted you took up my recommendation and tried Caro Ramsays work and I'm made up that your enjoying the experience. 🙌👍
She really does well drawn characters and moral complexity brilliantly.
What are your early first impressions of Caro Ramsay?
Giant of modern Scots literature, very sad news.
Cited by many writers in the tartan noir genre as a key inspiration.
not read enough yet to really have any , i'll let you know once i get farther into it
Thank you very much. 👍
have you read any brookmyre yet ?
"quite ugly one morning" is a nice short read and if you dont laugh out loud during the very first chapter than there is no hope for you
I've got one of his books on reservation at my local library! 👍
How is everyone else getting on with Caro Ramsay and Co? ☺
Just finished Ramsay's first one...what an ending. Didn't expect that for sure.
Has it wet your appetite to try more? Dark Water is a REAL treat and I think that's Caro Ramsays second novel.
How are we all getting on with our various tartan noir reading?
probably not gonna be popular here but didn't like ramsay's first book as much as i expected
too many coincidences and the storyline felt a little contrived
i'll maybe give the second a try to see if it improves given how strongly they have been recommended on here
It's an absolute crocker and I thoroughly recommend it
Thanks! Looking forward to it -that's in a pile of unread books in my bedroom! 😁
i now have 43 books in my unread collection on my kindle
most of them as a result of this thread
Awe I'm sure it will be worth it! You can't beat a good read!
problem is i seem to add to it quicker than i read
That's one of the problems or complications of Scotland's overabundance of talent! 😁
Hope you enjoy it! I've moved straight onto the sequel, that's how good I thought it was.
My OP should obviously read that its a corker and not a crocker
