The Cut by Chris Brookmyre has the theme of horror films. We have three points of view; Millicent is being told that she needs to learn to live her life, but she's planning a way out.
Jerry is a university student, who feels completely like he doesn't fit in with the other students. He's studying film, and has a special interest in horror films.
And the last point of view starts back in 1993, in Cannes at the film festival, where Luccio is getting the funding for a horror film together.
This was a great thriller, with rumours, and secrets coming out, and Chris Brookmyre does love to add a dash of political people into stories!
I have enjoyed every Chris Brookmyre book I've read, and this was no exception! The plot was complicated enough, but not to a confusing amount, just enough to throw you off the scent.
The Cut was published on 4th March 2021, and is available on Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

Super fun read. Love an unlikely duo - like Millicent, a 70-something year old ex con, horror movie makeup artist and Jerry, a Glasgow Uni student and horror film expert. Millicent is struggling to feel normal in her newfound freedom - she still contends she never committed the crime she was locked up for; Jerry doesn’t fit in either. What happens later is a twisty international murder mystery full of suspense, humour, sweet moments and lots of fun movie quotes.
