Time for the Dead by Lin Anderson
Forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod travels to the Isle of Skye to heal old wounds in the fourteenth novel in Lin Andersons forensic crime series.
Forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod has become one of the most satisfying characters in modern crime fiction — honourable, inquisitive and yet plagued by doubts and, sometimes, fears. . As ever, the landscape is stunningly evoked and MacLeod’s decency and humanity shine through on every page * Daily Mail *
The best Scottish crime series since Rebus * Daily Record *
The bleak landscape is beautifully described, giving this popular series a new lease of life * Sunday Times *
Hugely imaginative and exciting -- James Grieve (Emeritus Professor of Forensic Pathology)
Lin Anderson is one of Scotland’s national treasures – don’t be fooled by comparisons, her writing is unique, bringing warmth and depth to even the seediest parts of Glasgow. Lin’s Rhona MacLeod is a complex and compelling heroine who just gets better with every outing -- Stuart MacBride
Shades of The Wicker Man, with a touch of Agatha Christie. Superb * Daily Mail *
Anderson is a master story teller; her books are always incredibly well researched and her story lines resonate with her understanding of contemporary issues and the politics of expediency -- Live and Deadly
A cracking read that I thoroughly enjoyed. This is one of those novels where the setting is as much a character as any of the people being written about -- A Crime Reader's Blog
Time For The Dead is one hell of a book, which deserves to soar up to the top of the bestsellers list. The series featuring Rhona MacLeod just keeps getting better and better -- Ginger Book Geek
A brilliantly written thriller . . . It is a police procedural at its heart, but one that is as black as the sand on Skye beaches -- Fully Booked 2017
With every outing the Rhona MacLeod series gets better, and Time for the Dead proves this . . . Anderson’s research and knowledge make this thriller, and like any artist the words on the pages are her canvass where she creates another masterpiece * NB *
