The Scotsman hailed The Red Road, in which Morrow has a decisive showdown with her gangster brother Danny, as “an enjoyable book, but also a disturbing one, for underlying the conventional elements of the crime novel/police procedural, is the assumption that criminality permeates our society.” The reviewer also notes, “Remarkably, in the dark world Mina portrays with bitter relish, there is a place for love. Indeed love and the possibility of its redeeming power is one of the themes of the novel.”
