" The fact that I find myself missing Paddy Meehan days after I've finished this book is a tribute to the complex and interesting character created by Denise Mina. A bit of a slog in spots, but a good enough read that I'd like to try this author again. " denise mina is a master in creating complex protagonists. I'll pick up a few more of Mina's to see if I enjoy them as much. " It took a little getting used to as the dialect was definately Irish, but this book was a great read. I love the new Scottish noir, and this had an especially appealing heroine and a gripping, if gruesome, plot. " I finally got around to this first in a series of mysteries set in blue-collar Glasgow. The only slight quibble I had was that the plot was fairly pedestrian and the entire subplot about the real life Paddy Meehan, while interesting, seemed a bit like page filler. The characters were all very believable and Paddy was a compelling though young and flawed heroine.
The book had great descriptions of of the city, the class and sectarian divides of the time, and how a daily newspaper runs. Overall Performance: Narration Rating: Story Rating:.
