For Any Other Truth

Reviews / Votes

'This latest DCI Daley thriller is deftly plotted and peopled with sympathetically drawn local characters and satisfyingly nuanced local wrongdoers' * Irish Independent * 'a novel which you are likely to read with deepening pleasure' -- Allan Massie * The Scotsman * 'Meyrick has really hit his stride with this one, with the development of DCI Daley and his rather complex sidekick DI Scott particularly well done. Well-considered smatterings of dark humour break the tension, there is a satisfying pace and beautiful Scottish backdrops are an added bonus' * Scottish Field * 'in high demand across the globe ... A runaway hit. Readers instantly warm to Daley' * Daily Mail on the DCI Daley Series * 'Gritty, gripping story, Fabulous characters, full of humour and if that was not enough the sense of place is just superb. Every time I finish one I think "When is the next one coming?"' * Bookseller review * 'A complex but compelling plot keeps the reader firmly on their toes as they turn each page; it becomes almost impossible to put it down. This one wrung all the emotions from me, it had my jaw clattering off the floor a fair few times and a wee hankie dabbing at the eyes at others. Do yourself a favour and go buy this now!' * Chapter of My Life * 'a fine example of tartan noir, superior to most of the genre' * The Scotsman on the DCI Daley Series * 'I am in awe of any writer who can make you hold your breath on the one hand and laugh out loud on the other. Such is For Any Other Truth' -- Waterstones Bookseller, Horsham 'The DCI Daley books have the right ingredients to become hit TV: Stunning scenery, gripping stories, compelling characters' * The Scottish Sun * 'Just finished Denzil Meyrick's 'For Any Other Truth' - take a tale, twist it and twist it thrice - a cool, addictive roller coaster of a read' -- Gordon Brown (author of Thirty-One Bones) 'A twisty, intricate, and action-packed crime novel... demands that you keep on your toes as it splinters thoughts and catches emotions unawares ... With a fabulous cast and intricate plot, this crime novel packs a punch on the emotional front too' * LoveReading * 'Dramatic ... satisfying ... Definitely a book to take on holiday and read by the beach or pool, or wherever we end up this year!' * Press and Journal, Scottish Book of the Week * 'It's a complex story... Meyrick is skilled enough to pull it together' -- Alastair Mabbott * Herald * 'Denzil Meyrick writes fine crime novels and they get better with every outing. One of the few crime thrillers where the dialogue makes [you] laugh out loud. Meyrick brings real life and depth to his fictional community. Compelling' * Journal of the Legal Society of Scotland * 'This book is the best so far, the storyline was original and fast paced, I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through... thank you for another brilliant read' * Judesbookwormblog.com *
