Chris Brookmyre: The Cracked Mirror

Two detectives who should never have met. One case that can’t exist... You know Penny Coyne. The little old lady who has solved multiple murders in her otherwise sleepy village, despite bumbling local police. You know Johnny Hawke. Hard-bitten LAPD homicide detective. Against all the odds, against the usual story, their worlds are about to collide. 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 from Sunday Times bestseller Chris Brookmyre - one of the most popular crime writers in the UK. “A genius”, Richard Osman.
