Review of "The Steep Approach to Garbadale"

by Roger on Wed 24th Dec 2008.

Great read, interweaving the present (200x) with the early 80s and the early 90s to uncover the dark secret of Alban's past. Central characters (Alban, Fielding, Sophie) easy to identify with, although some of the peripherals a bit sketchly drawn. (Hydan, Blake, Lauren)
