# The Cracked Mirror by Chris Brookmyre (Paperback)

**\*\*\*Winner of the McIlvanney Prize for Best Scottish Crime Book of the Year\*\*\***  
**  
FORGET WHAT YOU THINK YOU KNOW  
THIS IS NOT _THAT_ CRIME NOVEL**  
  
You know Penny Coyne. The little old lady who has solved multiple murders in her otherwise sleepy village, despite bumbling local police. A razor-sharp mind in a twinset and tweed.  
  
You know Johnny Hawke. Hard-bitten LAPD homicide detective. Always in trouble with his captain, always losing partners, but always battling for the truth, whatever it takes.  
  
Against all the odds, against the _usual_ story, their worlds are about to collide. It starts with a dead writer and a mysterious wedding invitation. It will end with a rabbit hole that goes so deep, Johnny and Penny might come to question not just whodunnit, but whether they want to know the answer.  
  
_A cross-genre hybrid of Agatha Christie and Michael Connelly,_ The Cracked Mirror _is the most imaginative and entertaining crime novel of the year, a genre-splicing rollercoaster with a poignantly emotional heart._
