First photo taken on my hand me down IPhone. Not bad for first attempt. This is the book I am reading just now the second of the Hew Cullan mysteries and this one is set in the Canongate, Edinburgh in the 1580s. More murder and mayhem for Hew to solve.

The author is Shirley McKay who was born in Tynemouth but now lives with her family in Fife. At the age of fifteen she won the Young Observer playwriting competition, her play being performed at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs. She went on to study English and Linguistics at the University of St Andrews before attending Durham University for postgraduate study in Romantic and seventeenth century prose. She was shortlisted for the CWA Debut Dagger for her first Hew Cullan mystery, Hue & Cry. Shirley works as a freelance proofreader. She is now on to Hew Cullan mysteries number 4. I recommend them.
