Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Conviction stars a strong female protagonist who is obsessed by true-crime podcasts and decides, one day, to investigate one of the unsolved crimes herself.

It’s just a normal morning for Anna McDonald. Gym kits, packed lunches, getting everyone up and ready. Until she opens the front door to her best friend, Estelle. Anna turns to see her own husband at the top of the stairs, suitcase in hand. They’re leaving together, and they’re taking Anna’s two daughters with them.

Left alone in the big, dark house, Anna can’t think, she can’t take it in. With her safe, predictable world shattered, she distracts herself with a story: a true-crime podcast. There’s a sunken yacht in the Mediterranean, multiple murders and a hint of power and corruption. Then Anna realises she knew one of the victims in another life. She is convinced she knows what happened. Her past, so carefully hidden until now, will no longer stay silent.

This is a murder she can’t ignore, and she throws herself into investigating the case. But little does she know, her past and present lives are about to collide, sending everything she has worked so hard to achieve into free fall. 

Conviction is the compelling and unique new thriller from multiple award winner and author of The Long Drop, Denise Mina.

Critic Reviews

"A twisting, darkly comic, thrill-a-minute ride across Europe. If you loved Killing Eve, you'll devour Conviction." (Erin Kelly)

"Denise Mina brilliantly manages to be funny, heart-wrenching, gut-punching and addictive all at once: a fabulous, captivating novel." (Nicci French)

Wow! Once you’re in you’re hooked

Took a few turns before I understood the multiple threads and then I really got into it. One of the best paced, layered stories I’ve read in ages, enjoyed the narration too, needed clear separations for characters and that was achieved.

Brilliant

I don't normally write reviews but had to for this one. Absolutely fantastic. Refreshing characters and great story line and as per usual Cathleen McCarron is a great narrator. I hope there’s more to come.

Good read

This book was interesting with twists and lots of topical subjects woven into the plot. It would make a great thriller. The heroine was likeable. I’ll look for another by this author. The reader was great.

Hard to put down.

Don't use this suspenseful crime novel to get to sleep! Fascinating plot, well drawn characters and great twist in the tail.

A slow start but worth the wait

I almost gave up on this book. The start was very very very slow. However once you get past that start it takes off and is worth the perseverance.

Enjoyable

Laborious connecting the many threads. A simpler story may have achieved the same effect.
The ending with all the characters together read like the author needed to create the final scene just to end the adventure.
Overall enjoyable.
