Stranded demonstrates yet again the scope of Val McDermid's
imagination, her versatility as a stylist and her immense powers as
a storyteller. As well as McDermid's popular series character,
private eye Kate Brannigan, this diverse collection contains
narrative voices, both female and male, from different continents
and an eclectic range of backgrounds. McDermid has chosen the
short-story form to probe not only the motivations of the criminal
underworld but also the nature of crime itself, all the time
playing with crime-writing and pushing it to its limits. There are
even occasions where McDermid defies the genre altogether and the
collection is framed by two stories that show a writer exploring
fresh territory. Grit, sex, glamour, intrigue and unexpected turns:
Stranded is a showcase of trademark McDermid that will strike a few
surprising chords amongst even her most devoted readers.
