Creepy premise
Strange
Boring
Received this as part of an instagram book group. I'm glad I didnt spend money on it, not my cup of tea at all.

I found the main character petulant, frustrating and annoying. The story is slow and could do with some better snippets to liven it up. The only reason I really kept reading was to find out if he does actually find her.

Felt the overall premise was quite creepy.

I didn't connect with this plot as much as the first one and good old crazy Grandma Mazur didn't come across the same to me either. I actually found her a bit annoying until that end bit.

I also wanted more of something to happen between Stephanie and Joe...

P.S. The continual mention of the word pocketbook was doing my head in. We're they popular in 1996? I was only five at the time and can't remember.

Humour
Dark and funny
Found this book as a fluke and I've loved the series ever since, yes some of the themes can be quite dark but the characters are fantastic and really got involved with them, they also lighten the tone a little from really dark bits. Doesn't always paint a great picture of Scottish people but I enjoy reading it and laughing at parts which are actually how people are in real life
