Second Volume was better but not good enough to bring up my rating. Any book that has Pirate in it's title needs a lot more adventure than this book brings. ( ) A facsimile copy of an early imprint, difficult to read so I bought a Kindle edition, much better for my old eyes. Tale is excellent for anyone with an interest in the Orkney Islands but a bit convoluted and the plot solution is a rather compressed at the end of the story. Gets better towards its end. no reviews | add a review
