New book by Bill ShackletonBill Shackleton, has managed to combine a career as a Church of Scotland minister with a rumbustious good humour which has disconcerted both his various congregations and the nation for years. Thus this latest opus of his, his first foray into the novel, though not fiction. He has been at fiction for decades. In this book you will find indeed a Scottish minister: in fact you will find two and that is for you to find out. The Rev.Archie McTaggart is a comic creation which I suspect will last for long. The rest of the cast list - his wife Margaret, his mother-in-law (who I rather liked) and his dreadful sons. One a disastrous GP, the other a cabinet minister - and no matter the calamity a doctor can create it is nothing to that , according to Archie McTaggart, which a cabinet minister chap can inflict. There are appaling circumstance into which the Rev.Archie finds himself - pop stars, weddings, drink - you will just have to read this for yourself. Jack McLean 2008
