Ghosts in the Gloaming

'Splendidly absurd. A rare delight... a book that regularly had me laughing out loud. Meyrick has a delightfully light touch... what fiction is all about'

-- Allan Massie * The Scotsman *

'Another captivating escape to days long gone from the pen of Meyrick… best known for his incisive crime writing and rich, dark humour... a magical "wee” read’

* Sunday Post *

'Denzil Meyrick proves once again that he can eloquently tackle genres outside of crime… steeped with imagery from the stunning coastal setting and told with evocative language and a hint of Meyrick’s signature humour'

* Scottish Field *

'What an atmosphere… for the reader there is a lovely sense of contained escape with it being a novella'

* BBC Radio Scotland Afternoon Show *

'Denzil Meyrick's tales set in Kinloch are reminiscent of both Compton Mackenzie's comic novels and Neil Munro's Para Handy, while not trying to imitate either... a thoroughly entertaining book'

-- Graham Drew * Dundee Courier *

'With a blend of humour, mythology, rivalry and even tenderness, Denzil Meyrick has rounded off the series in style, bringing a smile to the face and a tear to the eye.'

* JenMedBookReviews *

'a gentle, Whisky Galore-esque chuckle'

-- Barbara Henderson * Highland News and Media *

'Reminiscent of both Compton Mackenzie's comic novels and Neil Munro’s Para Handy, while not trying to imitate either… this entertaining novella stands on its own'

* Scots Magazine, Book of the Month *

'Heartwarming and humorous – switch off and allow yourself to be transported to Kinloch and spend a happy afternoon in the company of real characters of a bygone age’

* Journal of the Law Society of Scotland *

'Quite simply, a joy to read and a book we'd wholeheartedly recommend'

-- Ken Lussey * Undiscovered Scotla
