Denise Mina has become one of my absolute favorite writers. I have now read every book she has written. Once you read one, you're compelled to start at the beginning.

It's surprising that Denise Mina is not better known in this country. Her current series, culminating in SLIP OF THE KNIFE recently released, is receiving a lot of attention, but her very first series starting with GARNET HILL, is just as compelling and well plotted. Her description of the main character's dysfunctional family is not as clear cut as in the very first volume, but is present nonetheless. This is the middle volume of the series, and has a plot line and resolution that the reader will not see coming. Highly recommended.
