THE LONG DROP by Denise Mina, Book Review

The Long Drop, a stand-alone true-crime thriller from the acclaimed author of the Alex Morrow novels, Denise Mina.

The Long Drop Synopsis:

William Watt wants answers about his family's murder. Peter Manuel has them. But Peter Manuel is a liar.

William Watt is an ordinary businessman, a fool, a social climber.

Peter Manuel is a famous liar, a rapist, a criminal. He claims he can get hold of the gun used to murder Watt's family.

One December night in 1957, Watt meets Manuel in a Glasgow bar to find out what he knows.

Based on true events, The Long Drop is an extraordinarily unsettling, evocative and compelling novel from a writer at the height of her powers.

(2017 Random House Audiobooks; Narrator - David Monteath, 7hrs 16mins)

BOOK REVIEW

The Long Drop is one of the most riveting audiobooks I have listened to in quite some time. The shocking nature of the criminal acts, the catalyst for the investigation, are disclosed very early on. The real subject of this novel is the psychology of the web of individuals involved, Glasgow's criminal underbelly and societal attitudes in the 1950s.
