'The Death of Remembrance is a properly frightening tale in parts, then, but there's plenty of humour too, and it's also a fascinating study of how both policing and crime have changed' -- Kirsty McLuckie * The Scotsman * 'Meyrick's ability to keep the pages turning almost of their own accord marks the Death of Remembrance as top-drawer crime fiction' * The Herald * 'Daley is a character complete with depths, currents and sudden changes of the Atlantic ocean that crashes against Kinloch's harbour walls. The remote peninsula and the claustrophobic nature of small-town life are perfectly painted' * Scotland on Sunday * 'If you have never read one of Meyrick's mysteries now is the time - before the TV series based on them begins' * Times Crime Club * 'Gripping' * Sunday Post * 'Crime fiction doesn't get better than the DCI Daley series' * Waterstones Horsham * 'The Death of Remembrance is a taut tale full of death, intensity and some startling revelations. It is a novel that fixes your attention from the beginning and keeps you fastened to the page right until the gripping, breathtaking end. I can only hope there is another decade of Daley and Scott to follow' * Live and Deadly Reviews * 'Intense, emotional and with the author's unique blend of humour and experience, all wrapped up in a wonderful sense of place that springs so vividly to mind you can almost feel the fog wrap itself around you as it rolls across the shore' * JenMedBookReviews * 'a thoroughly compelling read that, to use an overworked phrase, keeps you turning the page right to the end. This is a book that deserves to be read by all lovers of Scottish crime fiction - or, indeed, of any crime fiction' * Undiscovered Scotland * 'Denzil Meyrick gives us his classic style of tartan noir, filled with all the gritty scenes, dark humour, and hard-edged characters you come to expect from his writing' * Scottish Field * 'An epic, gritty, realistic book... one of THE best crime fiction writers of all time' * Jude Fire 33 - The Book Blog * 'The Death of Remembrance has all the ingredients needed for a great crime thriller: a skilfully crafted plot, an authentic sense of place, moments of drama and compelling characters' * What Cathy Read Next * 'Each thread of the story develops with plot twists, culminating, as with the best detective stories, in an unexpected ending' -- Graham Drew * Dundee Courier, Scottish Book of the Week *
