Cutter's verdict

It's about a month since those fine folks at Byker Books released Best of British crime novella Cutter's Deal into the wider world, and the first reviews are in.


Walter Conley got the ball rolling: 'Morrigan doesn't need a bag of tricks. She is a first-rate storyteller. You don't notice how adept she is because you're riveted to what is happening. I like how she just sets this up and lets it play to its true and inevitable conclusion. Throughout the book, I had a growing sense of unease, of fate closing in on the protagonists – but still couldn't turn the pages fast enough.'


Darren Sant added a caveat: 'A word of warning – if you want a cosy read look elsewhere. No fancy prose here. This tale is written simply and starkly. Morrigan has never sugar-coated her writing and she has always been bold when it comes to telling it like it is. An excellent and compelling read that I read in just two sittings.'

And then Paul Brazill summed it up neatly: 'Cutter's Deal is simply a brilliant, heart-in-mouth slice of social-realist crime fiction. The real deal.'



I'm delighted with those ... and I reckon it must be time to start work on the next Cutter story. Watch this space!


Cutter's Deal is available from all Amazon stores, including UK and US.
