Lead Review

• Book: Dandy Gilver and the Proper Treatment of Bloodstains
• Location: Edinburgh
• Author: Catriona McPherson

‘A subtle detonation of the cosy genre… an acute sense of period, sharp observation of the mores of the day (both above and below stairs), a nicely-judged infusion of humour and a winning heroine.’ (Independent)
Given that it has the sort of title and jacket cover that normally make me avoid a book, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I really enjoyed this book. It just goes to show not to judge a book by its cover.(BooksPlease)
