‘Solid pleasure… this moves along with the speed of a Porsche, so smooth you can almost kid yourself you haven’t been sitting on the edge of your seat throughout’
Mail on Sunday

‘Zippy action, a well-crafted plot and some refreshingly gritty northern truths’
The Times

Wonderful! 23 Oct 2002
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This is one in Val McDermid's "Kate Brannigan" series and is up to her usual high standard. Kate is a very believable PI with personal and domestic problems, just like everyone else with a life! There are no pretentions here, just an upbeat, pacy, investigation into stange circumstances surrounding the death of a fading rock star's ex-girlfriend. Plenty of booze, takeaways and witty one-liners. Great stuff!

Not one of her best 28 April 2008
Format:Paperback
I am a supporter of McDermid's work and have read all the Tony Hill novels so thought I would start at the begining with the Kate Brannigan ones. I am greatly disappointed, the story wasn't quite on par with the Tony Hill stories.

You can make your way to the end of the book without much difficulty and at no point did I consider aborting the it but I would not recommend this book.

How Kate Brannigan singlehandedlly takes on the drug barons of Manchester, babysits her boyfriend's son, risking her life in the process, and all in the name of love, leaves you gasping for breath! Utterly believable and down-to-earth too.
