Product Description

Review

'Tough, funny and intensely topical. McDermid stands out as one of the few contemporary writers actually nourished by the here and now' Literary Review 'Fast, fluently told story: Kate is as tough as Warshawski but less hung up on political correctness' Daily Mail 'Kate Brannigan is wonderful' Frances Fyfield


Product Description

Manchester-based, kick-boxing PI Kate Brannigan takes on the hard men of European organised crime as she battles to recover a Monet in a case that stretches love and loyalty to the limits. Manchester-based private eye Kate Brannigan is not amused when thieves have the audacity to steal a Monet from a stately home where she's arranged security. She's even less thrilled when the hunt for the thieves drags her on a treacherous foray across Europe as she goes head to head with organized crime. And as if that isn't enough, a routine industrial case starts leaving a trail of bodies across the Northwest, giving Kate more problems than she can deal with. Cleaning up the mess in Clean Break forces Kate to confront harsh truths in her own life as she battles with a testing array of villains in a case that stretches love and loyalty to the limits.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good book, but start with "Dead Beat", 24 Jun 2000
By Mr. D. J. Carr "David Carr" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There are only five Brannigan books, each fairly short, and the reader benefits from reading them in chronological order. You will then not only appreciate her Warshawski-type ironic humour transplanted to working-class Manchester, but you'll also understand more about why she ends up in charge plus the growing appreciation of her off-beat relationship with her semi-detached boyfriend. Read and enjoy - then you'll wish Ms McDermid had written more of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not enough!, 18 Nov 2003
By Kel (Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews
I have only one complaint about the Kate Brannigan series of novels and that is there aren't enough. I love the main character and all her mates. I feel part of the gang the moment I pick up one of the books, and this one, where she nearly gives up completely on her on/off boyfriend and hauls me through Europe is my favourite so far. More please!
