The Dead Hour

Denise Mina is wonderful. It took only one book for me to become a true fan – Michael ConnellySplendidly written… Magnificently readable * The Times *The Glasgow…in which The Dead Hour is set is uncompromisingly real and so are [the] characters. This is another very fine book from Mina * Sunday Telegraph *
