Summary
Bringing together six short stories - two of which are previously unpublished - One Last Dram Before Midnight is perfect for fans of Denzil Meyrick.
These tales take us from Jim Daley's early days pounding the beat in Glasgow as a young constable to a lighthearted whisky smuggling romp involving Hamish and some ghostly pipers.

Short stories
I was initially quite disappointed when I realised I’d bought a collection of short stories as I’m not really a fan of them, prefer a longer meatier read. But really enjoyed these stories. Helped fill in some of the background of the main characters. Love writing style and narration.

Excellent collection of short stories
Some real insight into the pasts of some of my favourite characters.
Narrated brilliantly, as always, by David Monteath.

What a Treat!
I am not usually a fan of short stories but enjoyed these greatly. They were mostly quite long short stories and full of humour and pathos. Some had an unexpected twist and another was a fantastic sea buckling tale. I enjoyed humour and the good old Scottish language. Well done Mr Meyrick - I look forward to your next offering.

Neat addition
Loved this. Adds to the backstories but also an entertaining selection of stand alone tales.

Simply Fabulous!
I'm not often one for short story collections, I normally prefer to spend time getting to know characters and the majority of the time find the short story form doesn't quite have enough for me. This is something different though, a whole collections based around the Jim Daley series makes it fascinating. Meyrick treats us to stories that dart around the years including a younger Jim Daley and younger Kinloch residents . . .
And that's how it fixes my problem with short stories, the characters are largely already known and most of all it contains the real star of the main series which is the town of Kinloch and its inhabitants. Their wonderfully quaint homespun wisdom is splashed liberally over topics ranging from ancient antiquities to knitted bikinis. And when David Monteath gives them voice they sing like a choir!
Like most good short story collections there is a real variety in here but I can honestly say that, despite my tendency to avoid this format, I enjoyed this as much as the books in the main series.

5 stars all round.
Brilliant mix of stories, thoroughly enjoyed them all. Great idea bringing in Daley's earlier background with some of the other characters met in previous books.
