Secures McNamara''s legacy as a virtuoso crime writer while also bucking the conventions of the genre . . Her self-deprecating wit, her intelligence, fearlessness, and her empathy shine through, serving as the perfect counterpoint to the depravity she describes.
Review quote: previous edition
''McNamara has a real gift for bringing alive the victims, witnesses and cops she writes about, largely avoiding the portentous style favoured in true crime narratives, and is totally unprurient. It is worthy memorial to its brave, engaging author, who died in 2016 aged 46.''
