These are pretty much a duology and tell the story of Martin McGregor and DS Amanda Pitt, and how they accidentally ended up helping each other investigate crimes.
The third book in the series, but can be read as a standalone, as can the rest of the series - but best to read them in order.
A world of fake news and dark money, and a politician as the focus of one man's hate.
Grant Cairns investigates, with help from Amanda Pitt and Martin McGregor.
A body washed up by the Clyde: DS Pete McLeod is on the investigation team. Meanwhile Amanda Pitt's past comes back to her as she's asked to find a missing woman.
Amazon reviews for Argyll Rising
"What price independence?
The Scotland here isn't tartan shortbread tins, bagpipes and toy coos......2040 is not that far ahead so there's enough that's familiar to make you feel at home, and then dark stuff creeps further and further into characters' lives. Some of the 'new' technology makes life easier but it also means you can be watched and traced wherever you go.
If you enjoy getting to know a variety of characters, feeling different tensions rise as the plot twists and turns, political shenanigans. some beautiful Scottish scenery and - stand by - a bit of shock-and-awe, then settle back and read this. It asks: What If...? and everyone will have their own thoughts as to the answers."
"This was a fascinating read, set in the near future (2040) where an Independent Scotland has China ‘supporting’ it.
Where people are monitored are you really free?
A read that got me thinking about all the choices and rights we have and ‘what if…’ that can affect our lives.
A quick read mystery thriller with various POV throughout, which built up tension right until the end.
It was an interesting concept especially with a resistance network story too.
It didn’t have the heavy dystopian feel that it could have, it was a political thriller with a difference, I really enjoyed it."
