À propos de ce contenu audio

Random House presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Long Drop by Denise Mina, read by David Monteath.

William Watt wants answers about his family's murder. Peter Manuel has them. But Peter Manuel is a liar.

William Watt is an ordinary businessman, a fool, a social climber.

Peter Manuel is a famous liar, a rapist, a criminal. He claims he can get hold of the gun used to murder Watt's family.

One December night in 1957, Watt meets Manuel in a Glasgow bar to find out what he knows.

Based on true events, The Long Drop is an extraordinarily unsettling, evocative and compelling novel from a writer at the height of her powers.

Commentaires

Angry, vital and unputdownable, The Long Drop’s themes of self-deception resonate long after the final page. This is crime fiction at its very best (Joseph Knox, author of Sirens)
Not a single word is wasted in this beautifully written novel. Unsettling, evocative and staggeringly good, it is possibly Mina’s finest achievement
A wonderfully atmospheric, unsettling read. (Louise Rhind-Tutt)
Deeply unsettling and thought provoking in all the best ways (Doug Johnstone)
The Long Drop is an exceptional book. The pages reek of fifties Glasgow, forming an oppressive backdrop to a true crime story that fascinates and appals from start to finish. Mina’s prose cuts to the bone, laying bare the prideful wickedness of men in a tale that is as often touching as it is frightening. A feast of a crime novel.
The Long Drop is a fascinating, quietly insidious work, unsettling but absorbing (Marcel Berlins)
It is a beautifully written book, a masterpiece by the woman who may be Britain’s finest living crime novelist
The Long Drop is not just a success and a thrilling read in its own right, but a game-changer for the genre. (Stuart Kelly)
A relentlessly tense and exciting read, every page oozes menace and its core of truth makes it all the more unsettling.
Deliciously shadowy. (Claire Allfree)
