《红色之路》入围2013年年度最佳犯罪图书奖一个穿插在过去和现在的出色故事，《红色之路》是能够媲美伊恩•兰金最好作品的“黑色苏格兰”侦探小说，米娜融合了残酷的现实，将面对格拉斯哥的贫困儿童和居住在宜人城市的法律和金融奇才结合起来。然而最吸引人的是亚历克斯•莫罗自己，她是一位被精心创作的有深度和能力的人物，凭借她的智慧，毅力和人性在重男轻女的环境里获得成功。 （爱尔兰时报）
米娜在构建复杂小说方面是一个巧手，将腐败渗透到社会的各个层面，没有人是清白的，“红色之路”也不例外：无情，令人不安，而且非常，非常好。 （监护人）
这个背景设在格拉斯哥，非常引人入胜的关于谋杀，贪污和谎言的故事，成功地处理了政治和个人的关系，可能是米娜最优秀的小说。（地铁）
米娜的犯罪小说对格拉斯哥的影响就像卢步思对爱丁堡的影响：这些神秘深入到一个城市的生活。 （星期日邮报）
复杂的情节一样引人入胜。丹尼斯•米娜的作品在有保证的成长，因为每一本书而变得更有技巧；这一本是精心制作的饼干，每一处场景都是有目的的。我建议你可能要回去细细品味细节，重读犯罪小说是罕见的事情。（艾伦•马西，苏格兰人）
这是这位格拉斯哥作者的第11本书，她塑造D•I•亚历克斯莫罗的第四个故事是我目前最喜欢的罪案故事之一。它用了辉煌的，复杂道德的眼光看待虐待儿童，警方隐瞒和腐败问题。不妥协并用真正的心理深度在写作。（大志杂志）
旧罪在这本惊悚小说中投下长长的影子，这证明了米娜获得的赞美实至名归。（贝拉）
丹尼斯•米娜所有的书籍都将优秀的阅读和有趣的社会见解结合起来...米娜作为社会工作者有对社会最底层生活的认识，并且拥有优秀的作家能力，使她笔下的人物栩栩如生。 （文学评论）
这是一部黑暗边缘的小说，将在记忆力最长时间的存在，曲折情节中的险恶因素真正推动小说走向其结论，将会让读者无法抗拒的一直读下去。（CHRISHIGH.COM）
《红色之路》是一部精细的作品，其情节的曲折就像高地的弯路，让你一路屏住呼吸到达目的地，并准备了大量的威士忌。推荐阅读，这是除了精致的犯罪小说库外，目前来自苏格兰的最好的犯罪小说。（犯罪小说爱好者）
Shortlisted for The Scottish Crime Book of the Year Award 2013 for THE RED ROAD
A brilliantly plotted tale that segues between past and present, The Red Road is a "tartan noir" police procedural to rival Ian Rankin’s best work, as Mina blends the harsh realities facing Glasgow’s underprivileged kids with the salubrious world inhabited by the city’s legal and financial wizards. The chief appeal, however, is Alex Morrow herself, a meticulously crafted character of depth and substance who succeeds in a patriarchal environment by virtue of her intelligence, persistence and humanity. (IRISH TIMES)
Mina is a dab hand at constructing complex reads in which corruption permeates all levels of society and no one is left untainted, and THE RED ROAD is no exception: unsentimental, unsettling, and very, very good. (GUARDIAN)
This hugely engrossing tale of murder, corruption and lies in Glasgow manages to successfully tackle the political as well as the personal and might be Mina’s finest novel. (METRO)
Mina’s crime novels are doing for Glasgow what Rebus did for Edinburgh: these fine mysteries also dig into the life of a city. (MAIL ON SUNDAY)
The plot is as compelling as it is intricate. Denise Mina grows in assurance and becomes more accomplished with every book; and this one is a cracker, beautifully worked-out, every scene serving a purpose... I suggest you may want to go back to savour the details, for this is that rare thing, a crime novel that invites, and benefits from, a second reading. (Allan Massie SCOTSMAN)
The Glasgow author’s 11th novel and her fourth to feature DI Alex Morrow is one of my favourite current crime stories. It’s a brilliant, morally complex look at child abuse, police cover-up and corruption. Uncompromising and written with real psychological depth. (THE BIG ISSUE)
Old sins cast long shadows in this thriller that proves Mina deserving of the praise being heaped upon her. (BELLA)
