Review: The Long Drop

The Long Drop by Denise Mina
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received an ARC (excerpt of first chapter) of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Denise Mina is one my favorite mystery writers, and given the chance to read (even if it was an excerpt of a chapter) of her new book, I was grateful for the opportunity.

Two men, William Watt and lawyer Laurence Dowdall head into a restaurant to talk with Peter Manuel, a criminal that says he has information about the Burnside Affair.

We've yet to know that Watt's family has been killed and that he is the prime suspect in the murders of of three members of his family, and also that his 17 year old daughter has been attacked.

Mina is a master with words and plot, wrapping the reader around them in each chapter. And this book won't be an exception. If the beginning is so good, this will be another exciting book by a great mystery writer
