Summary
Maureen O'Donnell is a psychiatric patient, stuck in an affair with Douglas, a shady therapist. She’s about to end it with him when she wakes up one morning to find him in her living room with his throat slit. Viewed by the police as both a suspect and a witness, even Maureen’s family suspects her.
Panic-stricken, she retraces Douglas' last days, finding a trail of rape and deception at a psychiatric hospital where she’d been an inmate. The patients won't talk and staff are afraid. Then a second brutalised corpse is discovered and Maureen realises that her life is in danger.

My New Favourite Author - hurray, rejoice
I love a good, fictional crime drama. It can be as gritty as it likes & I’d rather have it set in contemporary UK, where I live. My previous fave in this genre was Adrian McKinty’s Sean Duffy series - set in Belfast. So what I know now is I like them set in a Celtic city. Garnethill the novel is pacy, surprising, refsympathetic-yet-unsentimental, gross, involving, and it made me laugh a lot. It’s got no needless snobbery or cheesy office politics. I love the set-up: who the main character is & how she wrestles the situation round to end up on top. Very unusually for me I read this & its sequel straight-off. Can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

What a great story & great narration!
I love a story where nothing is swept away by someone doing something stupid. This complex, entertaining story really fits the bill. And the narration is just superb, bringing to life in your imagination a wide range of characters. Looking forward to the next in the series!

Pitch perfect narration and a brilliant story
Wow I have only read one other Denise Mina book but this one was fantastic. Funny, emotional, stuffed full of Glasgow humor and character. The narration is the best I’ve ever heard. Hilarious , scary and a great mystery with a native sense of place. Just brilliant. I love all the Tana French and Adrian McKinty detective ones but this was about what happens when the police and mental health services are not enough and women are in peril . No judgements on the characters.

Glasgow dwellers will love this.
Katy Anderson brought the book alive in my mind. Perfect character descriptions along side the perfect performance made me laugh, gasp and hold a wee tear. Story kept me gripped. Loved it.

Bad Narration
The narrator wasn't great, very screechy and hard to listen to for long spells. I ended up having to stop the audio book because of it.

Sadly, you were right!
I persevered with this book, but the shouting was almost unbearable at times. I’m sure that the narrator was striving for authenticity and integrity with Denise Mina’s intentions, but it made for an uncomfortable listen.
The plot and quality of the writing were enough to hold my interest, but I did think that the swearing was overdone in some places... especially when it was being screamed through my headphones!!

Brilliant but not for the faint hearted…
A gripping story well written on a serious subject with bags of black humour to get the reader through. Strong characterisation. The story also questions prejudice and power in the health and judicial systems.

Frenetic narration. Mellow out and calm down
Commical voices, narrator's 'suicide tanya' is shockingly bad and offensive. Moustached cop and Irish mum are also farcical. This is no reflection on the novel.
