Denise Mina recommends

Meantime (2022)
Frankie Boyle
"A darkest noir, unputdownable crime novel that swerves and surprises, with a gut-punch ending. I loved it!"

The Goldenacre (2022)
(Shona Sandison Investigation, book 1)
Philip Miller
"A riveting, brutal journey into the high stakes world of legacy art and inherited wealth."

The Last Thing to Burn (2021)
Will Dean
"I could not stop reading this! Brilliantly done . . . I’m awestruck!"

Long Way Home (2014)
(Zigic & Ferreira, book 1)
Eva Dolan
"Thrilling, original, so contemporary it feels as if it was written next year. Brilliant."

Follow Her Home (2013)
(Juniper Song Mystery, book 1)
Steph Cha
"Stephanie Cha's brilliant debut is as Noir as Old Nick's sense of humour. Compelling from first to last page, she takes on contemporary L.A., sweeping the reader through Chandler's twilight, heartbroken city from mansions to faux K-town hostess bars. L.A. Noir at its finest."
