Denise Mina

After finishing off the Mark Spragg book I thought I'd make a start on the Wordplay authors, haven't read any Iain Banks I'm ashamed to admit, but I started with Denise Mina, Garnethill since it's based in my home turf and I'm quite into crime novels anyway. The opening page didn't look all that promising, I thought it might be a bit gloomy and hard going but she has a good sense of humour which really lightens the book. However I made the mistake of picking up the next book in the serious as it was lying about in the library, and the blurb on it reveals the ending of Garnethill so I was really hacked off. Why do they do that, eh?
