'Denise Mina is the cream of the crop, an author who pushes the crime novel in new and exciting directions and never fails to deliver.' IAN RANKIN

When Margo goes in search of her birth mother for the first time, she meets her aunt, Nikki, instead. Margo learns that her mother, Susan, was a sex worker murdered soon after Margo's adoption. To this day, Susan's killer has never been found.

Nikki asks Margo for help. She has received threatening and haunting letters from the murderer, for decades. She is determined to find him, but she can't do it alone...

A brilliant, thought-provoking and heart-wrenching new thriller about identity and the value of a life, from the award-winning author of The Long Drop and Conviction.

This is crime writing of the highest order (Mark Sanderson)
More proof that Denise Mina is Britain's best living crime writer (Charlotte Heathcote)
Mina is the most compassionate of crime novelists... a dark and heartfelt novel (John Williams)
Always compelling and frightening, Mina's latest novel is full of tough-minded compassion. She is probably the most interesting crime writer at work today
Denise Mina is crime-writing royalty (Val McDermid)
The Long Drop is not just a success and a thrilling read in its own right, but a game-changer for the genre (Stuart Kelly)
A gripping plot and compelling characters
The Long Drop is a beautifully written book, a masterpiece by the woman who may be Britain’s finest living crime novelist.
Not a single word is wasted in this beautifully written novel. Unsettling, evocative and staggeringly good, it is possibly Mina’s finest achievement.
Mina writes with wonderful wit and compassion (Jake Kerridge)

Well drawn drawn characters abound in this story of the investigation of a cold case working girl's murder. There is a genuine empathy and a respect for the street girls which I found thought provoking and the humour in some parts was a nice counterpoint to the dark subject matter.

More than just a Crime Novel

This is not a quote you would hear from VisitScotland about this book 😅
I have qualms about plots involving such gritty misogyny , but it is very well handled and feels authentic. The narration, with tricky accents is very professional. Quite an accomplishment.

Fascinating, gritty glimpse into the lives of people seldom written about. Tense and keeps you questioning till the very last word.

tense till the end

The book is well narrated. The story is a bit thin and I expected a better conclusion, but it’s been a reasonably entertaining way of passing my lockdown runs.

A long moderately engaging murder mystery
