44 Scotland Street, first book in the series

Prior to publication, books in the 44 Scotland Street series appeared as daily entries in The Scotsman newspaper. The newest addition, Book 9 in the series, is now appearing in daily installments in the The Scotsman.  Fans of young Bertie, Big Lou, and all the other eccentric residents of Scotland Street and their Edinburgh neighbors can read along now, rather than waiting for the novel to be published in book format at its conclusion.
