Critics Review
GODS AND BEASTS is vintage Mina: a complex three-ply plot involving a shooting, blackmail and corruption, all described with hard-hitting prose and psychological acuity - SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
One of the most exciting writers to have emerged in Britain for yearsI am beginning to believe that Denise Mina is the finest contemporary exponent of British crime fiction, and that the Glasgow Detective Sergeant Alex Morrow is becoming its most interesting copper - THE TIMESOstensibly a police procedural, GODS AND BEASTS has much more to it … What the elaborate and cleverly crafted plot concerns, as Morrow identifies, is not simply detection but ‘being decent’. An excellent novel - LITERARY REVIEWGODS AND BEASTS confirms Mina’s place at the front of the crime-writing pack - INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAYAbout The Author
