Slip of the Knife by Denise Mina

4.0

Denise Mina creates brilliant female characters and in Paddy Meehan . like Maureen O'Donnell in the brilliant Garnethill trilogy , she creates normal women drawn into extraordinary situations.
Here Paddy, 5 years on from book 2 and with a 5 yr old son is drawn into another investigation which puts her at risk as she seeks to unearth a story/crime personal to her while also dealing with the boy from book 1 who is leaving prison. A compelling well written tale and I'm just sorry there are no more Paddy Meehan tales. Perhaps Denise should bring Maureen , Paddy and Alex Morrow together for one fantastic Glasgow crime solving team.
