Barney Thomson #6
The Haunting Of Barney Thomson
As Barney Thomson is closing up his barbershop for the night, an old man enters looking for a Cary Grant cut and a bit of a chat. The following day, Barney discovers that last night's customer appears to have been the captain of a fishing trawler found mysteriously abandoned on the Clyde over a hundred years ago.
In a sinister echo of the past, a trawler is discovered drifting in a flat calm just off the island of Cumbrae, where Barney lives and works. Of the three trawlermen known to have been on board the Bitter Wind, one is found dead on the vessel. The other two are missing.
As the ghosts mount up for Barney, could it just be that he is in an episode of Scooby Doo, featuring a lot of villains in masks? Or is it a real, dark and menacing evil which haunts his sleepy seaside town?
THE HAUNTING OF BARNEY THOMSON is book 6 in the Barney Thomson series.

Had to list the omnibus of seven separately due to the 2015 challenge. Review for the Omnibus:
Admittedly, it's perseverance that got me through all seven books. The first three, though interesting, were not very captivating. The last four were more flowing and well paced. Overall a good alternative read.

Less focussed than the previous one in the series - some mixed tone which clangs - some high tension and some dark comedy, but this story gave me the feeling that the characters are played out

Rather fed up of the surreal Barney Thomson stories now - but I've started so I'll finish!

4.5stars - the world of Barney Thomson is a deliciously dark place. Highly entertaining, witty and well written. These books should be way more popular!
