"To the Dogs is easily the best of Welsh’s recent crime novels. I simply could not put it down." —Alex Gray

"Welsh sparkles once more, taking us on a deep dive into Glasgow’s criminal hinterland, as one man’s moral compass spins out of control. A cracking read." —Karen Campbell

"Compelling and assured. [Welsh’s] portrayal of Jim Brennan, of a good man in conflict, is as authentic as it is chilling." —Caro Ramsay

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." —The Times

"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." —Herald
