Editorial Reviews
“[Field of Blood] should
earn her even more fans and cement her position as Glasgow’s retort to other
Scottish luminaries like Val McDermid and Ian Rankin. A thoroughly engaging
read.” —Library Journal
“Mina’s writing, her
sense of place and social fabric, and her keenly delineated characters surpass
genre designation. This is more than crime fiction, and Heather O’Neill’s
intelligent performance with its authentic Scot’s burr is a perfect match for
it.” —BookPage
“Mina…has helped make
Scotland a leading exporter of world-class crime fiction.” —Washington Post
“[Mina] is something
more than a crime writer. Like Dennis Lehane with Mystic River, she describes a close-knit, secretive community in a
substantial novel that happens to be centered on a crime.” —New York Times
Denise Mina is the author of mystery, horror, and historical fiction. She has written novels for four series, as well as stand-alone novels and graphic novels.
The Field of Blood won the Barry Award for Best British Crime Novel, The Long Drop won the Gordon Burn Prize, and Garnethill.
