I bought this book on a whim..and kind of by mistake. I'd never heard of it but decided to get it anyway. It was good. This is the first novel by Louise Welsh and it focuses on a murder/smut mystery. It takes place in Glasgow so the wording, the descriptions of the surroundings/architecture, and pretty much everything about the protaganist is described in a way that made the book fun to read. It was definitely different but very entertaining. The book is described as somewhat "perverse" by the New York Times...which is true but it's not an annoying trait or overkilled.
Btw...the protaganist in this novel is no angel. He's got some serious issues....but he means well and that's what leads to his discovery of The Cutting Room.
