Great First Reviews for 'The Drop'

The first reviews of 'The Drop' are in and thankfully they are great, better than I could have hoped for. I'm delighted and also relieved because I think my confidence might have been a tad dented if they'd all said the book was crap!

Crime Time Magazine called 'The Drop': "A classic British gangster novel that evokes and matches some of the best writing in the genre"

Renowned Crime Writer, Nick Quantrill said: "Linskey is sure to be at the forefront of Northern crime writing in 2011."

And finally best seller Simon Kernick called 'The Drop': "A brutal hard-hitting debut", which is a quote that now proudly adorns the book jacket.

That's a great start for a debut crime writer. Here's hoping for a few more positive reviews in 2011.
