I have enjoyed reading Carillion – 2 Graves. This detective is so clearly described that I feel if I went to George Square, Glasgow I would meet him! Descriptions of the city are very easy to imagine if you do not know this lively city, and if you do know Glasgow then they are read with great fondness.
All Alex Hill’s Carillion stories are fast moving and present the bad and the good in city life. The work by detectives and the police is shown to be very difficult especially when they start with ‘not much to go on ‘. Readers live through the twists and turns of working out the solutions. The team becomes familiar to the reader by the careful character descriptions of each one. Also the two main drug dealers are so cleverly conveyed that they, too, begin to seem familiar! Carillion’s good character and strong leadership is obvious in the handling of his team and the respect shown to them. Therefore the reader shares with Carillion and his team when the case is closed.
