What am I reading?: December 2013
http://kathleenjonesdiary.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
What am I reading? Monday, 9 December 2013. After reading Peter May's dark thrillers set in the Hebrides, I was definitely in the mood for more about remote Scottish islands. I bought Amy Sackville's Orkney. A while ago, but (after one or two false starts) I hadn't got round to reading it.

What am I reading?: November 2013
http://kathleenjonesdiary.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
What am I reading? Wednesday, 27 November 2013. The Blackhouse, by Peter May. The claustrophobic nature of the Hebridean island is perfectly evoked in the novel - you can smell the peat and feel the constant Atlantic wind tugging at your hair. The roots of the crime lie in the nature of the island community, with its gossiping tongues and bleak Calvinist values, as well as strong codes of honour that protect both the innocent and the guilty. The Blackhouse, Peter May, Quercus. Wednesday, 20 November 2013.
