McGill and Gropper are back
If like me you wondered how come McGill set up his investigation agency (unlicensed) in the back of a diner, this third novella, The Posting Method, provides the answer. It also digs into the background of the Gropper-McGill relationship. It’s a fun read and Andrew Davie writes well. The cases that the two main characters solve, in flashback, could be developed more, each of them deserves a full-fledged story, and maybe that is in the works. The current case the guys are working on is intriguing. It involves a Japanese sword and two brothers who are not what they seem. Gropper gets to do what he does best – action in the field – and McGill, true to form, ingests copious amounts of food, necessary fuel to get his brain going. I wish the story had gone deeper into the brothers’ complex relationship and spent more time on the antagonist. No spoiler, but there’s a big surprise at the end. This novella should definitely be expanded into a full length book.

McGill and Gropper return to simultaneously scratch your crime fiction itch and leave you with multiple cravings for bacon and pancakes.
This is told in dual plotlines as we follow their modern day client and are shown how McGill came to run his private eye business from a diner. The book is succinct and entertaining, but as well as food I was craving a bit more Gropper this time around.
Always great to read some Davie!
