In Sunday, June 20, Washington Post Book World, "Mysteries"
by Katy Munger:
"What are they puttng in the oatmeal over in Scotland these
days? Between Ian Rankin and Val McDermid, the country has
already produced more than its fair share of crime talent.
Add newcomer Denise Mina to the mix, and Scotland is beating
the kilts off the rest of the mystery world. Mina's
award-winning first novel, Garnethill, is a groundbreaking
book that should help finally establish women writers as a
credible faction within the hardboiled genre. Garnethill is
not physically violent, but its emotional rawness and
visceral honesty pack a punch far more potent than any
boxer-turned-PI could provide."
Has anyone here read it? Can anyone corroborate the rave?
And, which award?
