Praise for Hit Girls…
"Mitchell’s plot is elaborate but tightly played, with a back beat of racial abuse. Killer Tune lays the breezy musical name-checking of Hornby's High Fidelity over a well-crafted murder mystery." Financial Times on Killer Tune
"As good as it gets." Lee Child, author, Gone Tomorrow, on Gangster Girl
