Resolution - (Garnethill) by Denise Mina (Paperback)

About the Book

Returning to the seamier precincts of Glasgow and the untidy world of the hapless but resolute Maureen O'Donnell, Mina's "Resolution" completes her compelling Garnethill trilogy (which includes two "New York Times Book Review" Notable Books of the Year).

Book Synopsis

Irresistibly blending suspense, mystery, compassion, raw instinct, and grim wit, Resolution provides a wrenching conclusion to Denise Mina's universally acclaimed Garnethill trilogy.

Life has gotten no easier for Maureen O'Donnell since the events in Exile. Already deeply in debt and struggling with alchoholism, she now faces her most formidable challenges yet: testifying against her boyfriend's murderer and the return of her abusive father to Glasgow. As family matters deteriorate and violence hovers over the familiar neighborhoods of Garnethill, the world becomes a darker, more dangerous and even deadly place for Maureen.

Review Quotes

"Denise Mina's Resolution can stand alone, battered and proud, as a class-conscious crime novel that dares to tell the ugly truth."

"Skip Agatha Christie, skip A Is for..., and get yourself a novel by Denise Mina."

"We are asked to think hard about the nature of sympathy, justice and retribution. We ponder these questions long after the books end, and ask, How do we apply them to the world we know and the lives we lead?"
