À propos de cet audio
Set in 1976, seven years after the murders recounted in Liam McIlvanney's breakout novel, The Quaker, this new Glasgow noir novel is a stand-alone mystery featuring serial character Detective Duncan McCormack.
McCormack has returned to Glasgow after a stint with the Metropolitan Police in London. The reason for his return is left a lurking mystery throughout. He is investigating a series of murders that seem at first to be the result of random bouts of violence among Glasgow's poor and destitute. McCormack, however, has insight into Glasgow's underground that many of his colleagues don't. He has a secret of his own that he guards carefully but that takes him places and introduces him to people that prove essential to his investigations.
McIlvanney's The Quaker was named the Scottish Crime Fiction Book of the Year and a Washington Post Best Book of the Year. The Guardian called it "a solidly crafted and satisfying detective story". McIlvanney is known for his well-crafted plots, his deep characterization, and his stylish prose. The Heretic is no exception.

Fabulous Novel
I thoroughly enjoyed this crime story. First time for this author but definitely going to read other ones by him.

Misrepresented
Nowhere in the genres associated with this title (detective, fiction, historical, mystery, suspense) was any mention made of LGBTQ themes. I listened to The Quaker and enjoyed it - Angus King’s skill as a narrator ranks among the best on Audible and the story line of that book made only passing reference to Detective McCormack’s homosexuality, just enough to make the reader wonder how he could have survived in his professional role in that era. The main storyline in The Quaker remained the mystery surrounding a series of murders. I expected more of the same in this book but the description of gay sex was more than I could take. I stopped listening about halfway through. Sadly, I’ll be giving Angus King a pass after also having listened to Shuggy Bain, another gay themed story set in Glasgow. I’m not homophobic, I just think this kind of material should be labelled appropriately so that it can be enjoyed by the right audience and avoided by those who aren’t drawn to it.
