Reviews
Praise for Val McMermid's Lindsay Gordon series "A timeless mystery, well-plotted with crisp dialogue and solid characterization."-- Orlando Sun-Sentinel on Report for Murder "There's a vividness and energy to this tale that makes it satisfying and convincing."-- The Washington Post on Booked for Murder "Val McDermid is an inspiration."-- Herald (Scotland) on Common Murder "Her real skills in creating compelling characters, as well as a mystery that is profoundly twisted and filled with enough legitimate red herrings to stock Fisherman's Wharf, blossom in this dark, chilling novel."-- Bay Area Reporter on Final Edition "A wonderful read--thrilling, scary and funny."-- Evening Standard (UK) on Union Jack "The writing is tough and colourful, the scene setting excellent."-- Times Literary Supplement (UK) on Booked for Murder "McDermid's snappy, often comic prose keeps the story humming."-- Publishers Weekly on Common Murder "The macho world of the whodunnit has never seen a sleuth like Lindsay Gordon."-- Manchester Evening News (UK) on Booked for Murder "Neatly constructed and splendidly sarcastic about the circus of union politics."-- Daily Telegraph (UK) on Union Jack "Full marks for plot, atmosphere, character, dialogue, politics, humour Oh hell, full marks for just about everything. I don't know how Val does it, but I'm bloody glad she does."-- Crime Time on Booked for Murder
Synopsis
The fifth and sixth novels in the Lindsay Gordon series -gripping and thrilling page-turners, starring a self-proclaimed 'cynical socialist lesbian feminist journalist'--from the number one bestseller Val McDermid, The Lindsay Gordon novels are the series that set internationally bestselling writer Val McDermid on the path to becoming the world-class crime writer she is today, collected into three volumes and now available as Grove Press paperbacks for the first time. In Report for Murder, we meet self-proclaimed "cynical socialist lesbian feminist journalist" Lindsay Gordon--McDermid's pioneering character--as she investigates the vicious murder of the headliner at a fundraising gala who is found garroted with her own cello strings. These books take Lindsay from a murder at a women's protest for which Lindsay's former lover is the chief suspect; to the death of a union boss for which Lindsay must prove her innocence; with stops along the way in the buzzy journalism world and the seething rivalries of London publishing; and all the way to St. Petersburg to retrieve the kidnapped son of a local car dealer. Longtime fans will be delighted to see the Lindsay Gordon series back in print, and for readers who have never encountered McDermid before, these books are a thrilling introduction to "Britain's Queen of Crime" (Times, UK)., The Lindsay Gordon novels are the series that set internationally bestselling writer Val McDermid on the path to becoming the world-class crime writer she is today, collected into three volumes and now available as Grove Press paperbacks for the first time.
