Ces 3 petites histoires m'ont fait passer un chouette moment. La logique est toujours plus au moins la même donc une fois la première, on comprend vite ce qu'il va se passer. J'ai vraiment beaucoup accroché à la première, le cadre écossais était très présent par rapport aux deux autres et j'ai trouvé les personnages plus appréciables que dans les deux dernières. Bonne lecture d'été pour se détendre et voyager en Écosse
