Critic Reviews

Praise for Louise Welsh: Welsh tells the stories that nobody else dares (VAL McDERMID)
The specificity and style of Welsh's prose - peppered with such fine Scottish words as 'bawface', 'coorie' and 'shoogly' - the depth of her characterisation and depiction of place, her gallows humour and her compassion all make The Second Cut a superb piece of work
Welsh reclaims her crown as the queen of Glasgow's grubby glamour (KIRSTIN INNES)
[Welsh's] skill with plot, character, dialogue and atmosphere fuses the disparate elements into a wholly convincing depiction of a city where glamour and danger, hope and despair, beauty and horror, are frequent partners
