Still Midnight () by Denise Mina. Series: Alex Morrow (1) Members: Reviews: Popularity: Average rating: Mentions: 24, () When three armed men invade a quiet Glasgow home and demand audience with a person who does not live there, Alex Morrow investigates their apparent mistake, a situation that escalates as violent acts. Denise Mina is a stylish, accomplished writer, and 'Still Midnight' has an enjoyable plot and is full of interesting, believable characters, chief of whom is policewoman Alex Morrow. Despite the huge number of British crime novels which have a female detective at their centre, Ms Mina has successfully created an interesting and original. I read Denise Mina's latest, Gods and Beasts, and decided to try listening to this one, the first in the Alex Morrow series. Jane MacFarlane is a wonderful narrator and Denise Mina's writing is intelligent, riveting, often funny. She writes fascinating characters with depth and believability.
So reads the inaccurate cover blurb on Denise Mina’s latest novel, Still Midnight. The novel is, in fact, a tale of a Glasgow kidnapping gone wrong, told from two points of view – that of the perpetrators, who are hapless, unintelligent, fantasist lowlifes; and that of DS Alex Morrow, a neurotic, unpopular yet competent police detective. Denise Mina Author Biography After a peripatetic childhood in Glasgow, Paris, London, Invergordon, Bergen and Perth, Denise Mina left school early. Working in a number of dead end jobs, all of them badly, before studying at night school to get into Glasgow University Law School. Still Midnight is my first time to read a Denise Mina novel and I highly recommend it. I was drawn in by the characters, enjoyed the twists and turns, and am looking forward to my next Denise Mina novel. ISBN - Hardcover $ Publisher: Reagan Arthur Books (Ma), pages.
