No spoilers here.Her female lead is a flawed protagonist who does make mistakes at times. All of the characters and situations are extremely HUMAN and realistic, and the devil is in the details when portraying that....she's got it down.Her descriptive language is perfect...not flowery, but direct and often humorous. Descriptions made me laugh a few times...they are artful and sometimes tongue in cheek. Same with some language. but she can also get emotional reactions that are not humorous...be ready.It is mind-boggling that this is a first novel.The setting is Scotland, and books are peppered with slang. Word use, especially spoken, is different from British English, or American, so you may spend a wee bit of time puzzling a few things out, or looking a few things up, until you get used to that kind of structure. I personally adore a setting with authentic language. It is NOT unreadable by any means.These are an excellent blend of mystery and thriller while also giving a clear look at modern social issues and a little of the past of Scotland. It's done so seamlessly that you will hardly know you learned things. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Second Mina Book and Counting *by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2019* Denise Mina is my new favorite crime writer. For me, it's all about the characters. The pacing needs to be great and the mystery interesting and surprising, but the characters are what make you care. Mina's intriguing and unusual characters do the trick. Plus, she's a highly skilled writer to boot and always makes me laugh. I vote for Mina as the author with whom I'd most like to have a cup of coffee. Only a very interesting person could write like this. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lots of loose ends *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2017* First-time Denise Mina reader here so why not start at the beginning, right? On the plus side, this novel has a distinctly female perspective which makes it compelling and especially relevant. The writing evidences an abundance of talent. The story held my interest and I'd certainly describe the book as worthwhile. On the other hand, as a mystery, the book leaves much to be desired. There is so much superfluous and redundant descriptive prose that I was reminded of the pulp fiction practice of paying a penny per word. More significantly, although she does some sleuthing, the main character doesn't solve the crime: the police do, and they tell her who did it. What's more, they tell her about 70 pages or so before the author tells the reader. In addition, this reader, at least, had a very hard time understanding how in the world the crime that begins the tale could have come about -- having more questions than answers at the end of a crime novel is less than satisfying. An auspicious debut novel, then, but far from perfect. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/25273559-garnethill-paperback-september-20-2007](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/25273559-garnethill-paperback-september-20-2007) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
