Wall Street Journal
Part of what makes Mina such an <b>interesting writer</b> is that the <b>science is a background to the moral and ethical questions </b>she is posing ... taut ... the topics she chooses are <b>serious and urgent</b>'
- Scotsman,
Filled with <b>intelligence, intensity, and empathy</b>, <i>The Good Liar</i> is a <b>taut, propulsive mystery about family, truth, and morality. Denise Mina is such a talent</b>
- Alafair Burke, New York Times bestselling author of The Note,
Denise Mina <b>sets the gold standard in crime fiction</b> that is <b>whip-smart, funny and insightful</b>. This has it all: a cat and mouse game with the highest stakes, diabolically clever forensics, and characters that crackle from the page. <b>Blisteringly good.</b>

** FROM THE NY TIMES and Costa shortlisted author, comes a NEW standalone thriller**
The truth might set her free ... but will it be the death of her?
When blood spatter expert Claudia O’Shiel finds herself on stage to talk about the most famous criminal case in recent history, she has a choice to make: explain how her evidence put away the man responsible for the brutal double murder? Or tell them the truth – that the real killer is still out there, and if she tries to expose this conspiracy, it won’t just be her life on the line.
A taut, intelligent suspense novel for fans of Val McDermid, Elly Griffiths and Tana French, The Good Liar is about power, class, and the lengths we're willing to go for family.
