Reviews

Chris Brookmyre is a genius, every new book of his is a cause for celebration
*Richard Osman*

I recommend The Cut SO HIGHLY! A fast-paced thriller set in the glamorous/seedy movie world, it's DIFFERENT. Lovely characters with the sweetest relationship, it kept me guessing
*Marian Keyes*

A twisty spiralling rabbit hole of a book that draws you deeper with every chapter. Brilliantly original, compulsively readable, right to the final page
*Ruth Ware*

The Cut is both strikingly original and definitively Brookmyre - proving, yet again, that there's nothing he can't do in the genre
*Mick Herron*

It works a treat, with jokes never far away even when the odd duo are in peril, sharply drawn supporting characters and evocative 1990s flashbacks
*Sunday Times*

This is a special novel. A brilliant, original, up-to-the-minute tale with all of the dark, edgy, humorous brilliance we've come to expect from one of the finest crime fiction writers in the world. The Cut is simply superb
*Abir Mukherjee*

Another twisting, turning thriller that displays Brookmyre's original touch
*Scotsman*

Dark, heartfelt, stylish and thrilling, The Cut is the kind of wonderfully original tale I just adore. Chris Brookmyre is a storytelling mastermind
*Chris Whitaker*

A smart, sassy and surprisingly tender crime novel
*Irish Times*

I could not put this stomach lurching, zig-zagging triumph of a thriller down
*Scottish Field*

Multi-award-winning Brookmyre once again serve up a delightful cocktail of murder and mayhem with totally engaging central characters
*Irish Independent*

A riveting, original thriller that also tackles preconceptions about age, class and ability
*Sunday Post*
