Product Description

Product Description
When Lindsay Gordon returns to Glasgow to make up with her lover, she has some surprises in store. She has partnered up with someone else, her friend Alison has been murdered, and her former colleague, Jackie, has been jailed for the crime.

Excerpted from Final Edition by Val McDermid. Copyright © 1998. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
Jackie Mitchell stared down at the murdered body of Alison Maxwell, fear and horror mingling in equal measure. Alison was sprawled on the familiar bedroom carpet, limbs crooked, blonde hair spread round her head in a jagged halo. The ravages of strangulation had left her face barely recognisable. The scarf that was wound into a tight ligature round her neck was, however, only too easily identifiable. Jackie would know her own distinctive yellow tartan muffler anywhere. Slowly, with an enormous effort of will, she forced herself to look up.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good read, but I preferred the Kate Brannigan books, 24 Jun 2000
By Mr. D. J. Carr "David Carr" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I recommend buying the five schoolgirl detective "Lindsay Gordon" books and the five Manchester private eye "Kate Brannigan" mysteries, then reading them chronologically. You will then benefit from the continuing storylines of the main characters as well as seeing how the modern thriller-writing skills of Ms McDermid developed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Probably the most complex of the Lindsay Gordon's, 3 Jul 2000
By A Customer
There is a quantum leap between 'Common Murder' the second book and this one. I don't know what changed but something certainly did. This book has the glimmerings of the promise that would come to fruition in Mermaid's Singing. The plot is far more congruent and complex, with a very nice twist. I'd recommend it as probably the best of the 5.

5.0 out of 5 stars Final Edition, 22 Feb 2009
By RH Strike "Fan of a Good Read" (Northampton England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Final Edition (Paperback)
I am a fan of Val McDermid and I am reading the Lindsay Gordon mysteries.
I have just reading "Final Edition" and so far I think to be the best of the Lindsay Gordon series. I am not used to reviewing books, but I really liked the story. I am really sure that Val McDermid must write more Lindsay Gordon/Kate Brannigan books as they are among her best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great to the end
I like Val McDermid as a writer and this book was excellent and believeable from start to finish. NO disappointing rushed ending.
