Review:
"Angry, vital and unputdownable, The Long Drop’s themes of self-deception resonate long after the final page. This is crime fiction at its very best" (Joseph Knox, author of Sirens)
"Not a single word is wasted in this beautifully written novel. Unsettling, evocative and staggeringly good, it is possibly Mina’s finest achievement" (Daily Express)
"A wonderfully atmospheric, unsettling read." (Louise Rhind-Tutt i)
"Deeply unsettling and thought provoking in all the best ways" (Doug Johnstone Big Issue)
"The Long Drop is an exceptional book. The pages reek of fifties Glasgow, forming an oppressive backdrop to a true crime story that fascinates and appals from start to finish. Mina’s prose cuts to the bone, laying bare the prideful wickedness of men in a tale that is as often touching as it is frightening. A feast of a crime novel." (Stuart Neville)
