The brilliance of Susie Steiner's novels

I discovered this late, but I have to share how good the late Susie Steiner's Manon Bradshaw books are. They are so worth your time.

It’s literary crime, and if you like Kate Atkinson’s and JK Rowings’s crime novels, the Jackson Brodie and Cormoran Stirke books, respectively, you’ll like this.I’ve read the first two, and I’m on the final one. So good. I don’t want them to end. She created a truly memorable character.It's tragic that she died so young. Steiner, a former Guardian journalist, was a talent writer who created a truly memorable character. Steiner, unbeknown to her, had written her final book, Remain Silent, with “a 9cm tumour pushing my brain over its midline” and, in a piece she wrote about writing, cancer and lockdown, she described wishing she could have included the specificity of her treatment in the novel: the hard chairs in waiting rooms, the contrast between vigorous medical staff and depleted patients.Susie Steiner obituary.
