Editorial Reviews

'The procedural details are spot-on, the storylines sharp and inventive, but it's the characterisation that makes Anderson's work truly special. CSI Vegas has Grissom, CSI Miami has Horatio Cane. In the Glasgow crime scene team, Dr MacLeod has the skill, instinct and balls to match up to her American counterparts.'—Shari Low, Daily Record

If you enjoy crime fiction that has a leaning to the forensic - or even if you just like an intriguing read - my advice is to make Lin Anderson your go-to crime writer. The forensic and police procedural details are spot on, the characters engaging and the plot never short of compelling.—www.crimesquad.com on FINAL CUT

One of the best books I have read in ages for creating and maintaining suspense—www.shotsmag.co.uk on FINAL CUT

Lin Anderson is one of Scotland's national treasures; don't be fooled by comparisons, her writing is unique, bringing warmth and depth to even the seediest parts of Glasgow. Lin's Rhona MacLeod is a complex and compelling heroine who just gets better with every outing.—Stuart MacBride, author of Cold Granite and Dying Light

'Final Cut has all the required ingredients of a forensic thriller.'—Daily Mail

Chills the blood . . . would make Ian Rankin's old man Rebus choke on his whisky chaser.—Big Issue on DARK FLIGHT

I was absolutely gripped... very enjoyable and truly, truly disturbing...—Radio 5 Live on DARK FLIGHT
