Blood and Granite: True Crime from Aberdeen 
Client Evaluari: - Blood and Granite. I must confess that my interest in this book comes from being born an Aberdonian. As gruesome as the contents are, I recognise all the locations as they were then. Unless the reader has a morbid fascination with homicide, I cannot imagine too many outsiders being interested in Aberdeen s crime rate. I can remember many of the incidents contained in this book and the uproar they caused at the time. My aunt even knew one of the victims.All the way through I kept thinking I remember that.
Mr Adams was a reporter. I think he could have gone into some of the incidents a little more thoroughly, some he barely mentions, but he might not have been directly involved with them. I found it a good read, jumping around a little at times, and I am only sorry that my mother was not spared to read it. She would have enjoyed it - from the nostalgia point of view of course, much as I did. It would have been nice to contact the author to tell him snippets he might not know. Thankyou Mr Adams for taking the time to write this.
