Cannot recommend this top Scottish crime writer enough.

As good as Kate Atkinson?
I know she was born in England, but I always associate her with Scotland.

Not sure I've read her.
Christopher Brookmyre is top of the Tartan noir set.
Brutal crime, but with a dark humour.
The bonus with Brookmyre is that you also get philosophy/politics/social commentary.
He is such a bright and interesting guy...and hilarious!
But do not read if easily offended!
