Murder in the Merchant City Kindle Edition

by Angus McAllister (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 77 ratings
In Glasgow, a single mom with a secret life gets caught up in murder: “A gripping whodunit [with] a good measure of comedy” (Scottish Field).
 
Annette Somerville, a young single mother, earns her living giving men massages—along with a few extra services—at a high-class Glasgow sauna, scrupulously keeping her respectable home life separate from her professional activities. Then, during a series of seemingly unconnected murders in the city, Annette realizes that all the victims have been regular customers.
 
No one else seems interested, and her boss makes it clear that going to the police will cost Annette her job. But Annette’s new boyfriend, a former customer of the sauna, could be the murderer’s next victim . . .
 
This is a unique and witty crime thriller from the author of Close Quarters, praised as “excellent reading” by Scots Magazine.

If you’re looking to settle down with a gripping whodunit and a good measure of comedy the latest crime novel from Angus McAllister is worth picking up. A cleverly crafted read and McAllister keeps up the suspense splendidly'

    I did not really expect to enjoy this book, based in a massage parlour, but I did. Though the subject matter did not seem appealing, this book is really well written, absorbing and sometimes funny, in a dark way. I did know who the murderer was before the end, bit it didnt spoil my enjoyment of the book. Give it a try, you will be pleasantly surprised.

    It’s not bad but he’s no Jo Nesbo! He fails to make the Merchant City come alive yet that is part of the title he used. He is also very snobbish about the Glaswegian accent used by the ‘girls’, yet that is an important element in the ‘fun banter’, and an indelible part of Glasgow.
