Readers of brooke magnantis previous work will be unsurprised by the sharp observational humour on display here and there are some pointed observations about what its like to have been at the centre of a media furore her main character erykah spends her life dreading the digging up of her youthful involvement with a murderous boyfriend but these are carefully couched within a highly intricate pageturning plot starting with the discovery of a very decomposed corpse in the highlands moving through political shenanigans set in postindyref scotland and peopled with intriguing characters like a moustachioed exarmy officer whos become the figurehead for a sort of scottish ukip a grumpy scottish pol who would rather spend her valuable time in westminster than with her constituents a missing geologist whose work on scottish mineral deposits may have led to his demise a london radio talkshow host whose programme seems to be somehow involved with this murderous conspiracy and most of all the very relatable protagonist erykah who starts out as a middleaged woman trapped in a loveless marriage but by the end of the book has seen and done things she never would have believed possible
