By the way Craig, did you design the site? I think it's really good -
very different to North Amercan styles (I'm currently doing a website a week to keep the wolf from the door; the dot.com business is slowly reviving again...) Murchadh |

The stories are overall very readable, though there is the element of one
dimensional casting of the main man. Boss out to get him, throws a wobbly, does a double bluffing deal with the bad guys, case solved ! I would buy more of the same even if there is a degree of accuracy in your opinion. The TV show bombed in my opinion. I dont think John Hannah was the right actor to play the part which didnt help. Did Rankin have much input to the script ? Laidlaw is a very good read but his character has had a very short shelf life. I have Laidlaw, The Papers of Tony Veitch and Strange Loyalties. Reading the Strange Loyalties I was feeling the same about Laidlaw as you think of Rebus. Not his best attempt at a crime story given the first two efforts, which I have read many times. Maybe that is why we have only seen three crime stories from McIlvanney. The third was was not exactly a crime story but a follow-up meandering tale of a cop struggling with life after his brothers death. On a like for like basis it is harder to judge the potential success of Laidlaw. Kevin. |
