Slip of the Knife
By Denise MinaPublisher Description
A brilliant thriller featuring Paddy Meehan, one of the most praised heroines since Temperance Brennan, from "a rising star in the world of crime fiction" (Laura Miller, Salon).
Paddy Meehan is no stranger to murder -- as a reporter she lives at crime scenes -- but nothing has prepared her for this visit from the police. Her former boyfriend and fellow journalist Terry Patterson has been found hooded and shot through the head. Paddy knows she will be of little help -- she had not seen Terry in more than six months. So she is bewildered to learn that in his will he has left her his house and several suitcases full of notes. Drawn into a maze of secrets and lies, Paddy begins making connections to Terry's murder that no one else has seen, and soon finds herself trapped in the most important -- and dangerous -- story of her career.

“I was introduced to this series of books through the TV show. They had adapted the first two Paddy Meehan books with Jayd Johnson playing Paddy. She was really good, and I was sucked into her story. Unfortunately they didn't adapt the third book to series. I wanted to know what happened next to Paddy. I decided to read/listen to the third book. The third book picks up with Paddy about eight or so years after the second book. I really liked how she pulled all of Paddy's family, co-workers and friends through to the end. I felt satisfied with how things were wrapped up. I am so glad I checked out the last book. I really enjoyed Mina's writing, and am going to check out some of her other books. Good stuff!”

“I've never read any of the Temperance Brennen mysteries, but if this one is supposed to be like them... no thanks. This felt messy to me - I'm not sure how else to explain it. There were times when I think the author felt we'd intuit what was going on, but then rushed through so we didn't quite catch up. At least, that's my take on it.
Not a series I'll pursue.”
