Geezer Girls: Gangland Girls Book 1 - Hardcover

'Mitchell's plot is elaborate but tightly played, with a backbeat of racial abuse. Killer Tune lays the breezy muscial name-checking of Hornby's High Fidelity over a well-crafted murder mystery.' * Financial Times on KILLER TUNE * 'An interesting, original novel, worth reading, even if you don't get half the references and in real life would block your ears to the noise' * Literary Review * 'Dreda Say Mitchell is an exciting new talent and her second novel, KILLER TUNE, shows her distinctive take on current urban noir.... The narrative throbs with energy and has a refreshing directness' * Sunday Telegraph on KILLER TUNE * 'KILLER TUNE is a sharply observed, incisive and moving story of radical politics, conflicting loyalties and unfinished business.' * Guardian * 'As good as it gets . . . Mitchell is English fiction's brightest new voice' * Lee Child *
