Welsh gleefully puts her priggish protagonist through the mill in this alternative campus novel . . . Every character, even Benji the bichon frisé, is sharply and succinctly defined. <i>To the Dogs</i>, dripping in irony, is a gripping amorality tale
* The Times *
A propulsive thriller, the narrative pace rattling along at a rate of knots, combined with Welsh's seductive and perceptive prose . . . <i>To the Dogs </i>confirms Welsh's position in the very top tier of Scottish novelists, whatever the genre
- DOUG JOHNSTONE, * Big Issue *
<i>To the Dogs </i>sees Welsh in assertive form, her subject contemporary academia in thrall to wealthy students from overseas . . . Welsh exhibits her usual unassailable command of a gritty Glaswegian setting and a fatalistic perception of how quickly ordered lives can spin into chaos
* Financial Times *
<i>To the Dogs</i> is easily the best of Welsh's recent crime novels. I simply could not put it down
- ALEX GRAY,
[Welsh] explores Glaswegian masculinity and whether we can change who we are in this sharp, pungent story
* Herald *
Welsh sparkles once more, taking us on a deep dive into Glasgow's criminal hinterland, as one man's moral compass spins out of control. A cracking read
- KAREN CAMPBELL,
Compelling and assured. [Welsh's] portrayal of Jim Brennan, of a good man in conflict, is as authentic as it is chilling
- CARO RAMSAY,
<b>Praise for Louise Welsh: </b>Welsh tells the stories that nobody else dares
- VAL McDERMID,
Richly layered, gloriously carnal, bursting with patter and irresistibly seductive'
- CHRIS BROOKMYRE,
Highly entertaining
