Media Reviews
Only two books in and Tony Black is already one of my favourite living crime writers. Gutted is simply superb * Nick Stone, author of Mr Clarinet *
Tony Black is the latest of the seemingly unending stream of good Scottish crime writers who have in common the ability to portray vividly the underbelly of Scottish inner-city criminality ... The dialogue fizzes and the whole is suffused with black humour. Celtic Noir is in rude health -- Marcel Berlins * The Times *
Sitting somewhere between the raw grit of Welsh and the genius of Rankin, Gutted deserves to be the thriller hit of the summer * Scottish Daily Record *
As washed-up private detectives go, Gus Dury is compelling - he's as hard as any criminal, as twice as self-destructive. -- William Leith * Evening Standard *
Absolutely gripping - a labyrinth of violence, secrets and emotion. This is a true rollercoaster of a read. * lovereading.co.uk *
