Exile

The Scottish backdrop adds a unique flavor to the crime narrative, but I'm curious how much the author aimed to reflect the local culture and landscape in the mood of the novel.

The character's struggles felt very real, but I kept wondering whether their decisions were relatable or if they crossed a line that made me uncomfortable.

The title hints at deep personal and societal issues, and I'm curious about what motivated the author to delve into these particular themes through this crime story.
