Claim Now Cullen: Five Years (Scott Cullen Collected Editions Book 2) Compiled And Edited By Ed James Displayed As Audio Book

was a definite improvement on the first four books in the series but I still cant get over the feeling that you are still reading about the Keystone cops.
I am sorry but I really find it hard to imagine any of the main police Scotland characters getting up in court and giving clear enough evidence to ever get a conviction.
They seem to be too drunk or too busy having personal problems to do any good investigating, Still it was an interesting read and keeps your mind working, By bingereading, I read these books purchased individually lastvwinter, In fact, I've read ALL of Ed James books, Mr James provides a very entertaining cast of evolving characters and stories, If Scottish noir is your thing, READ THESE BOOKS! You won't be disappointed, My only complaint Mr James needs to write faster, Five years

A very good book and a good read worth reading got you guessing all the way through to the end Classic Scottish noir: bad food, bad moods, too much booze and tight plots eyk, Twitter
