Book review

214. Pat McIntosh, The Nicholas Feast. This is the second in a series (I haven't read the first yet) of medieval mysteries. It's set in Glasgow in the last decade of the fifteenth century and is a very engaging read. I was a little unsure of the amount of paper discussed; I'm not sure that paper was really that readily available by 1490 despite the advent of early printed books in the fifteenth century. However this won't put me off reading more novels starring notary Gil Cunningham. Especially interesting is the incorporation of clan rivalry - a subject of which I know nothing.
