A FINE HOUSE IN TRINITY
‘Written with brio, A Fine House in Trinity is fast, edgy and funny, a sure-fire hit with the tartan noir set. A standout debut, if there is justice in the world this book will find its audience.’
-Michael J. Malone

‘This is a romp of a novel which is both entertaining and amusing . . . the funniest crime novel I’ve read since Fidelis Morgan’s The Murder Quadrille and a first class debut.’
-Crime Fiction Lover
‘Razor sharp Scottish wit is suffused throughout and this makes A Fine House in Trinity a very sweet shot of noir crime fiction. This cleverly constructed romp around Leith will have readers grinning from ear to ear and some of the turns of phrase deserve a standing ovation in themselves.’
-The Reading Corner
‘A welcome addition to the Tartan Noir scene, providing as it does a more light-hearted approach to solving a crime. Lesley Kelly is a fine writer, entertaining us throughout. The near-300 pages are deceptive, as this is a book perfect for romping through in one sitting.’
