I have a big ol' hardback of that. It's probably his best non-M for me. I love it and always got the feeling he had genuine affection for his characters - they leap out of the page for me.

Well well well. Turns out the BBC are repeating their adaptation of The Crow Road next week on BBC4

Only one I’ve started but not finished. Yes, the weirdy writing made it hard/wore thin, but also by half way I had no idea where it was going, and not in a good way.

If others have finished it and can recommend it then I might reconsider retrying. I do own a hardback copy of it.
