The Cut by Chris Brookmyre

What a ride!
I was intrigued by the premise of this and requested the audio arc from NetGalley so thank you to them and the publisher. I’m so glad I did.
We follow two timelines of our main character Millicent ‘Millie’ - a make up special effects artist working in horror. We follow her in the 90s during her career, and then decades later when she is released from prison, convicted for murder.
This was a pitch perfect mystery thriller, I was shocked and left on the edge of my seat on multiple occasions. It had the right notes of pop culture and it even had a great detective duo (who I would love to see more of)
Thrillers were feeling a bit stale for me but this was a breath of fresh air.
