I discovered you in the Spring and am finishing my 5th. "The Last Temptation" is a master piece. Each book I read raised you higher and higher on my list and, honestly, you sit alone as #1. Such smart writing, well developed characters and brilliantly crafted plots. I am a Val McDermid fan and ot afraid to say it to the world. Thanks for you.

I just love the Dr. Tony Hill books, please, please keep them coming. Have also loved all your stand-alone novels, A Place of Execution etc. Looking forward to your next book.

I have just read three of your novels and I must say that I am now spoilt in my reading habits... I do not want to read any other crime writer as, in my opinion, they pall into insignifigance beside you. Thank you so much for the pleasure (& breath-taking terror) you are able to impart. I can't wait to read some more.

I have just finished reading 'A place of execution' again,I usually ready it about 4 times a year, as it is by far according to me 'The best book I have ever read'. It gives me chills everytime I read it - I am hooked. Thank you so much!

Thank you for wonderful, complex characters. Have just read my way through your Tony Hill series. It has been a case of can not put down the book - "my, is it 2am already? - just a few pages more..." Enjoyed it that Tony Hill finally got some closure with regards to his father.

Amazing, mind-blowing, frightening, completely absorbing, I cant get enough. Please let the new book be a Tony Hill one!! Thankyou for them all.

Greeting from the starving literary world of Oz. I have been struggling, even on line, to find much of your early work. It's a rarity for tv to entice me to seek out an authors work, but the wonderful richness, complexity, integrity and substance of Wire in the blood had me running to bookstores to devour at first the related Tony Hill books. It was one of the greatest reads ever. I'm still pining for more in the series. I then travelled back through time to acquire the Kate Branningan series (consumed in days), and now desperately trying to find the complete Lindsay Gordon Mystery. I cannot understand how readily publishers reproduce rubbish - and fail to supply work by such a gifted and successful writer. If there is anything that can be done to make it known to the relevant publishers they are dropping the ball - I'd be happy to do it. Thank you Val for having the courage and dedication to do what you enjoy.

I was looking for a really good read at the Libray and was at authors starting with "D" when I plucked out "A Place of Execution". I hadn't read any of your books, but that one hooked me. Now I look for your books first. Thank you for writing books that keep me up all night. Big hugs for that!

As I loved the 1st of your books that I read, THE MERMAIDS SINGING, I purchased several more. I am in the middle of THE WIRE IN THE BLOOD, and as I usually do, I read the last couple of pages of the book. Before I continue, can you please tell me if you wrote a sequel in which Jacks Vance is punished. I read novels for escape- and I love to see justice done.
If you haven't written a sequel, please do and I'll place this book on hold until you do.
Thank you for the well written entertainment you provide
Sincerely,
Deanna Shulman

Susie Raynes Park
I've just read 3 of your books in quick succession (absolutely fan-bloody-tastic, Ms McDermid - thank you so very, very much). I loathe Thatcher too - she, and her lackeys, robbed our souls way back then. I was 11 when the witch claimed power and I shall never, ever vote for their party. Sorry to spout, but reading your books brought back so much of the pain and hate the Tory party of then that paved the way for how we are now. It's just frightening to see how close those bastards are to coming back into power.
Yours,
Susie

I read and reviewed FEVER OF THE BONE for an Australian books magazine last year, and really enjoyed it. Fantastic, gripping, writing. It was my first taste of your books, and it certainly won't be the last (there are already 2 more in the TBR mountain).

I have just finished Fever Of The Bone. Thank you for a great story with real characters who develop so well in a tortured way. Following on to some drivel I have read in recent weeks, it was a joy to read a book from an author who knows her craft.

Each book gets better. I've just read "A Darker Domain" and "Fever of the Bone", both of which were absolutely brilliant. Up to now, my favourite has been "The Mermaids Singing" and these other two are on a par with that. Can we have more than one a year please???

I loved your story I've Seen That Movie Too in The Dark at the End of the Street collection. I had read it before but it's certainly worth reading again. Having worked on a few movies as an extra and a studio teacher, death and treachery aren't too far from some peoples' minds. Cheers, Jeanne

I am currently trying to read "Killing in the Shadows" not only is it a terrible book but i am staggered by your lack of imagination.
I find it deporable that you have blatently used the rachel nickell murder and the intervention of paul britton as a part of your plot.
This horrendous crime shocked the nation and put a huge amount of pressure on the police to resolve it. You opinions regarding the handling of that investigation are made with years of hindsight and and you should be ashamed of yourself for your vicious attack on people who did everything in their power to bring a murderer to justice and provide closure for the family.

Dear Ms.McDermid,
I am a beginning mystery writer and a fan of your novels. I wondered why you never wrote more than one novel about Fiona Cameron?
Best,

I'm having a lot of fun reading your books. Prompted to delve into your works by the Wire In The Blood TV series, I've completed my reading of the Tony Hill / Carol Jordan books and moved on to your other series.
I was born in Falkirk and raised in central Scotland but now live in the USA so I do have a nostalgic impulse to read the works of Scottish authors. I have added you to my list that includes Iain Banks and Ian Rankin. I'm really looking forward to reading all your books.
All the best from Austin, TX.
Allister McNeish.

I have read several of your books and thought they were great. Just finished "A Darker Domain" and as an ex Fife (Saline) miner I was able to identify with many of the characters, and thought that was your best yet.
Most people cannot imagine how tough it was underground and the only book I have read on it was "Seven steps in the dark" a biographical work by a Scottish miner. I would love to see a novel about life in the mining towns and villages and with your background you could tell stories that would rival Dickens or any of he great authors.
Great work, keep it up.

I have a suggestion, how about displaying the book by series, for instance, a series for Dr Tony Hill and Detective Chief Inspector Carol Jordan?

Our local public broadcasting station ran A Place of Execution and I was hooked! Picked up a copy to read and was completely pulled into the writing.
Now I'm reading the Tony Hill series with a great deal of enjoyment. Can't remember when a series pulled me in so thoroughly!!
Many thanks for your great mysteries!!!
