I'm deeply engrossed in Cold Grave and might have it finished by the end of the day. It's a fairly standard whodunit with the only twist being that it's partly set in Dundee. We recently saw a TV show set in Dundee and it looked like an interesting city: a good university and some tall ships as a tourist attraction. There's one character in the book called Campbell Baxter, nicknamed Two Soups. It rang a bell and I thought I had read it somewhere before, so I looked it up.
It seems to have become a common meme in Scotland and has appeared in more than one book, and elsewhere. I suppose when something interesting catches an author's or screenwriter's attention it's hard to resist claiming it as your own. Of course, I would never do anything like that.
