The Sound of the Hours - Karen Campbell

This book is wonderful. I’ve always enjoyed Karen’s books, but to my mind this is her best yet.

Set in and around Barga, Italy’s most Scottish city, during the allied advance on Northern Italy during WW2, The Sound of the Hours is peopled with wonderful characters who must face the terrifying consequences of war, and their split allegiances.

A love story to humanity with all its many colours, faces and beliefs. Highly recommended.

Prime Suspects at Bute Noir 2019

I'm delighted to be back in lovely Rothesay for the annual Bute Noir crime writing Festival this coming weekend (2nd-4th August 2019).

I have two events on Friday evening, and I've started doing some preparatory reading for interviewing Ian Rankin at 9:00pm in Rothesay Library.

Before talking with Ian, Stuart MacBride and I will be discussing our new books at 8:00pm in the library.

I do love a festival where you have to get a ferry!

The full Bute Noir programme for the weekend is :-
