Tips and Resources From Your Val McDermid Book Club Friends:

From her intense criminal profiler Tony Hill and DI Carol Jordan series to her exceptional A Place of Execution novel and her currently popular Karen Pirie detective series, Val McDermid blends darker, violent crimes with sympathetic protagonists that struggle with the everyday relationships and the trauma of their work. Her work is often dubbed “tartan noir” for their Scottish settings and characters but her books have universal appeal.

“He frowned as he struggled to remember. It was like watching an elephant crochet.”

Sandra Muller
“Val McDermid is called the Queen of Crime for a reason. Her stories are gritty, twisty and full of suspense. I always look forward to one of her new books.”
