The Cracked Mirror
The Cracked Mirror: The exceptional brain-twisting mystery | Chris Brookmyre
1 post | 1 read
FORGET WHAT YOU THINK YOU KNOW THIS IS NOT THAT CRIME NOVEL You know Penny Coyne. The little old lady who has solved multiple murders in her otherwise sleepy village, despite bumbling local police. A razor-sharp mind in a twinset and tweed. You know Johnny Hawke. Hard-bitten LAPD homicide detective. Always in trouble with his captain, always losing partners, but always battling for the truth, whatever it takes. Against all the odds, against the usual story, their worlds are about to collide. It starts with a dead writer and a mysterious wedding invitation. It will end with a rabbit hole that goes so deep, Johnny and Penny might come to question not just whodunnit, but whether they want to know the answer. A cross-genre hybrid of Agatha Christie and Michael Connelly, The Cracked Mirror is the most imaginative and entertaining crime novel of the year, a genre-splicing rollercoaster with a poignantly emotional heart.

Went to see Chris Brookmyre speak today at Edinburgh Book Fest.

This one sounds right up my street... it's a meta mashup mystery - cosy crime meets hard-boiled thriller.

Can't wait!

Mandoul Brilliant! Hope you're enjoying the trip. 3mo
