The Dead Hour


Written by Glasgow author Denise Mina, this is the second in her mystery series featuring crime reporter Paddy Meehan. Paddy has been promoted from her former go-fer position at the Scottish Daily News, although she is now the only person at her house in the Eastern Star housing estate who is “earning.” As usual in these books, Paddy gets involved in, and solves for the “polis,” a heinous murder. Heather O’Neill, who has a perfect Glaswegian accent, read this book to me on compact disc. Hearing this book read in the lilting cadences of a Scotch burr made the experience even more enjoyable and exciting to me than reading it.--Barb P.
