I don't know, it just didn't occur to me!! Once I realised, I got All The Colours Of The Town too. I feel in Scotland/UK he's very much in his father's shadow (I adore his father's work, and am meant to be doing an e-mail Q & A with him shortly as a promo for BloodyScotland, but am tentatively hoping he gets back from holiday in time, so keep an eye on my blog if you're interested in McIlvanney père - crimeworm.WordPress.com, or follow me on Twitter @crimeworm1, anyone welcome! I'm just praying the publishers get it together!) I think Liam's ,a fantastic writer, he can be utterly sublime in parts, working under tough circumstances when it comes to his work, as his father IS the Godfather of Scottish crime. Hopefully he'll be more prolific than Dad, and come out from under his shadow. I also enjoy the way he uses current Scottish events as a backdrop - that is not dissimilar to Ian Rankin. The author has points to make, politically or socially, like in all the best crime fiction. Roll on number three....(And whispers of another Laidlaw have been heard, but whether it'll come to fruition is another matter. Fingers crossed!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
