"Fishnet contains many more instances of gritty brilliance following its dramatic start… Fishnet is one of those rare and refreshing crime novels in which the victim isn’t victimized, and where her life and community are as important as the mystery of her disappearance."
—New York Times Book Review
"Thoughtful, bruising, poignant, and poetic."
—Ian Rankin
"Fishnet is a determined debut from an inimitable talent. Kirstin Innes takes the reader on a remarkable, authentic journey into the contemporary realm of prostitution."
—Lisa O'Donnell, nationally bestselling author of The Death of Bees
"Bold, sensual, and unflinching, Fishnet lays bare a world too often misjudged and misunderstood. Kirstin Innes writes with courage, warmth, and real insight. This is a hugely enjoyable and important book."
—Emma Jane Unsworth, award-winning author of Animals
"It's dark and provocative, and it holds its gaze steady on the sex industry. Here's a new writer with huge talents and promise."
—Sarah Hall, author of The Electric Michelangelo, a Man Booker Prize finalist
"Innes strikes sparks by rubbing a clandestine world (here, prostitution in Scotland) against the everyday. Unsettling and seductive, this tale of two sisters is moving, gripping, and unforgettable."
—The Independent
"[Fishnet] asks difficult and brave questions about prostitution . . . Innes presents convincing characters, living believable lives, and so she is able to dig deeper into these emotive issues than facts and stats alone can hope to go."
—The Guardian
"It's extremely rare for a novel actually to change public attitudes, but Fishnet already has."
—The Herald
"[S]et to be a massive hit and deserves every ounce of that success."
—The Huffington Post
