Dundee in the 1970s is the setting for this very dark but gripping police procedural by RD McLean and it is a book that you should definitely look to read if you like this type of book.

The main characters are excellently drawn with the main one being a WDC in a male dominated world.

The story moves along at a good pace which keeps the pages turning and the reader hooked.

Definitely one that is recommended.

This is a brilliant read, with very interesting and believable characters, set in Dundee in the 1970's. I loved the atmospheric writing and the strength of Burnet's character as a policewoman in a male dominated profession. The characters jumped from the pages due to the skilled writing and the plotting was filled with suspense right to the end. I do hope there is a follow up to this 5* read, which I highly recommend. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

Wow! That was intense. And gripping. And dark. I'd even go so far as to say it was edge-of-your-seat stuff. But enough with the clichés.
The Friday Girl is a fine example of Scottish Noir. Dundee is the setting, 1978 is the year. The Friday Girl of the title is Elizabeth Burnet, the pretty face of Tayside Police, newest addition to CID.
Her first major investigation as a DS appears to be a violent murder, but someone doesn't want her to investigate it, and the case is eventually buried.
Burnet soon discovers that police corruption is rife in CID, and misogyny is the order of the day. 🚓
I loved this book. The tension built the deeper I delved. I was either biting my nails, or shouting with frustration. I definitely called one of the characters a bad name. 🚓
This title will be available on March 13th. I strongly recommend you add it to your reading list. You won't be sorry. 🚓
Thanks to Black & White Publishing and Netgalley for the digital ARC.

A message to the author..NO ONE BUT NO ONE likes to read about pets being killed.......

This is a book I liked except for the above.. A killer is stalking the neighbourhood. and Elizabeth Burnett thinks she can solve the case.

Set in Scotland this book brings memnories of the 70's and it's a good read. It is dark and brilliant and I loved it



It is part Police procedral and part thriller and the two mix wonderfully. Police corruption is rife, Women have a hard time getting up the pay scale but Elizabeth is good at what she does and sets out to prove her worth.

This book is dramatic, gripping and oh so good
