The Sporran Connection: Bob Burns Investigates, Book 2

Bob Burns Investigates #2

by Peter Kerr

Julie Bryson and rookie detective, Andy Green, once again aid Scottish detective Bob Burns. When Andy becomes the unwitting recipient of a drop of £100,000 in used notes, the trio become enmeshed in a web of murder, intrigue and Caledonian skulduggery, as the action shifts to Sicily, New York and a remote Hebridean island.

The arrival of a Sicilian blacksmith as the island’s new laird leads to some hilarious misunderstandings as the line between the good and bad guys becomes increasingly blurred. After many a Highland shenanigan, the mystery is finally solved...or is it?

Zdecydowanie gorsze niż pierwsza część. Humor bardziej na siłę, choć wciąż zabawne. Zagadka kryminalna zdecydowanie mniej ciekawa, a rozwiązanie deus ex machina.

[Katy Cameron · Rating 3 out of 5]

A rather twee, stereotypical cosy mystery, but a good, mindless, holiday read

[Pamela Bottomley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very silly. Very funny and thoroughly enjoyable. I’ve read two fo the Bob Burns books and they are a great read. Have just started the third book, The Cruise Collection. I hope there will be more.
