Critics Review
“Modern East London voices come in various shades, colors and races. Mitchell can reflect them all beautifully.”
As good as it gets … Mitchell is English fiction’s brightest new voice - Lee Child
Great read written by a great girl - MARTINA COLEKILLER TUNE is a sharply observed, incisive and moving story of radical politics, conflicting loyalties and unfinished business. - GuardianDreda Say Mitchell is an exciting new talent and her second novel, KILLER TUNE, shows her distinctive take on current urban noir…. The narrative throbs with energy and has a refreshing directness - Sunday TelegraphAn interesting, original novel, worth reading, even if you don’t get half the references and in real life would block your ears to the noise - Literary ReviewMitchell’s plot is elaborate but tightly played, with a backbeat of racial abuse. Killer Tune lays the breezy muscial name-checking of Hornby’s High Fidelity over a well-crafted murder mystery. - Financial TimesAbout The Author
