Praise for Beneath the Bleeding:

‘McDermid’s previous novels have set the bar vertiginously high but the latest outing for criminal profiler Tony Hill and DCI Carol Jordan has all the craft, panache and pace that we have come to expect from this outstanding writer

… Vintage stuff: unplug the phone, lock the door and prepare to read in a sitting’

Guardian

‘Another intelligent and absorbing offering from one of crime fiction’s most consistent performers’

The Times

‘If Rankin is the king of British crime, Val McDermid is undoubtedly the queen … Hill and Jordan are compelling creations and their encounters fairly crackle. McDermid is a consummate plotter so there are pleasing twists and turns in this first-rate story’

Observer

‘McDermid is at the peak of her murderous craft … on the page, McDermid makes criminal profiler Hill every bit as engaging as [Robson Green]’

Daily Mirror

‘The Queen of serial killers in this country keeps her end up … few can scoop Val on throat-clutching narrative but at the same time she is marvellous on the sub-plot details … I am intrigued by the first appearance of Hill’s monster mother – more of her please’

Daily Mail

‘Peerless … one of the world’s finest crime writers, McDermid is currently at the top of her game’

Glasgow Herald

‘Very good … McDermid is an old hand at making things believable’

Irish Examiner

‘The novel opens explosively … the momentum doesn’t slacken … this is a book which works on more than one level. It fulfils the criteria of a very good contemporary crime novel in terms of excitement, topicality and its sense of authenticity. but it delivers more than this: the complex and unpredictable relationship between Hill and Jordan lies at the heart of the series and is one of its greatest strengths. McDermid’s writing gets better and better’

Spectator

‘McDermid’s usual ingredients of fear, revulsion, ingenuity and heroism … this book is all the more gripping because some holds are barred’

Literary Review

‘McDermid is up there with the best’

Good Reading
