Review: Who Killed the Pig, and Why?
Rating: 5 out of 5

Since I'm a real fan of Alexander McCall Smith and his Scottish stories, this book was written using lots of Scottish words and phrases that I enjoy learning about.  The story is very well written, with multiple plots and twists and humor.  This is the first of R.R. Gall's Dumfries Detective Trilogy, and I'm looking forward to reading the others.  The protagonist, Jin Johnstone, is a man who acquired wealth from his relatives and helps people without asking for payment.  As you would expect, this story starts with a dead pig dressed in formal attire, and this leads Jin on a real journey to discover why it was killed.  As with many protagonists, he survives a rash of attacks but finally solves the mystery.  For those of you who have the Amazon Prime membership, this book and the other two in the trilogy are available for a free loan in the Kindle Lending Library.
