What readers are saying

Some quotes from readers of Cuddies Strip:

“How much I enjoyed this book. Feelings of frustration and anger went alongside thoughts of how far women in society have progressed, combined with how much further there is to go! So, it led to some stimulation for the grey matter, as well as being a page-turner. Thanks so much Rob, you should be proud.” 

“What a page turner, I enjoyed every minute of it. I can't wait to read the sequel!” 

“A wonderful and harrowing account of the true crimes committed in Perth in the 1930s - hard to believe it actually happened!” 

“A first class piece of work. I finished it in one short sitting, and two longer ones, which I think tells its own story. Very well done; for those reading it, it can only whet their appetite for what is to come.” 

“So addictive I couldn't put it down, thoroughly enjoyed it, very well done. Can't wait for the next one.” 

“The best book I’ve read in years.” 

“Loved the book, well researched thought provoking read. Anyone looking for a Xmas present for anyone with a Perth connection can’t go wrong with giving them this book.” 

“The pacing of the story is brilliant, but the most striking part is definitely how memorable the characters are, and this story will definitely be sticking with me. It was also interesting to read something set in Perthshire, and there are references to local sites throughout.”

“I got my copy on Monday, started reading it yesterday and I’m hooked already.” 

“Great read, really captures a picture of what you d imagine Perth and society was like in the 30s.” 

“This is a perfect crime book... I give it a whopping five.” 

“Totally immersive and absolutely recommended. A brilliant well written book.” 

“I really enjoyed Rob McInvoy's narrative and felt he got the personalities of the characters across so well that I felt myself getting angry and frustrated at the way the investigation was handled by some of the officers, and felt sympathy and liking for others.” 

“This book is extremely well written as both true crime and fiction. Lovers of either would enjoy this!” 

“an enthralling book for true crime lovers. A well-written story that will keep you fully immersed until the end.” 

“definitely a page turner.” 

“tests the patience and strength of a human spirit and shakes the reader thoroughly.” 

“If you enjoy true crimes I would definitely add this to your to be read pile.” 

“I had high expectations for this book and it definitely did not disappoint. It was a delight to read as the story telling was sublime, the characters are all unique and well formed and the story itself was believable and more importantly felt human and real.” 

“Bob [Kelty] stole my heart in this tale. The size of his heart, so empathic, highly intuitive. I think I have a book crush on him! I would love to read more books with him in it.” 

“I loved this book, especially the Scottish dialect throughout, and would recommend it for anyone who likes the idea of a police procedural with a difference.”
