Just to let you know what all the fuss is about!!

"Whisky From Small Glasses by DA Meyrick is a stunningly impressive first novel which is certain to generate a great deal of interest and excitement. A crime novel, set in a small Scottish rural town thinly disguised as Kinloch, it reveals the seething cauldron of sex, drugs, violence, corruption and murder that lies beneath the dour surface of Kinloch life.

The book starts with one body found in the sea. Two more bodies are quickly added as it becomes clear a serial killer is at large. Further ramifications include police and harbour staff corruption and the involvement of a Latvian drugs smuggling ring.

The book introduces Detective Chief Inspector Jim Daley who is destined to join the ranks of outstanding Scottish fictional detectives. Daley’s complex relationships, with his bosses; his colleagues; and his unfaithful but passionately loved wife, drive the story of Whisky From Small Glasses forward to a dramatic and almost unbearable conclusion.

It is a marvellous book that will thrill and engage all its readers. It belongs to that category of the best crime fiction which uses the format to say important things about life in contemporary Scotland. Whisky From Small Glasses is a book that is likely to endure, and will be the first in a series of crime novels set in rural South West Scotland that will transcend their genre and will comment on how such rural communities are coming to terms with 21st Century life and all its complexities."

Here is one of the first reviews of my novel Whisky From Small Glasses:

Whisky From Small Glasses is well named. It can be savoured and enjoyed just like a fine measure of the hard stuff. It engages and rewards as it thrills and delights. Like all the best crime fiction it transcends its genre as it enlightens the reader about the realities of a community that at first sight is stuck in a mid20th century time warp but underneath the veneer of stability is struggling to cope with the influx of modern values and modern, and not so modern, vices. The relationships around the chief character DCI Jim Daley are wonderfully drawn and are used to drive the story line forward relentlessly to a powerful conclusion, that leaves the reader anxious to follow the main character in his next adventure”.

The response from those who have read my new novel is quite staggering.

I suppose that when you're banging away on the laptop, to use a somewhat awkward phrase, you have low expectations- well I had anyway. You dearest wish is that someone-anyone- will read your book and like it.
Your greatest fear is that someone will read it and either burst out laughing, or throw it  at you.

All thoughts of success are far away, banished to the back of the mind in case you wish for too much.

Thanks to the good people at Ringwood Publishing, I will see my dream come to fruition. It is wonderful when somebody has sufficient  faith in what you do to invest their own time, money and effort into helping you realise a long-held ambition.

Only last night, a significant literary figure in Canada, who has read the original manuscript, said that Whisky From Small Glasses was the best crime novel he had read in a very long time.

I hope you will all agree!
