THE HOLLOW TREE (2024) (Birlinn/Soho Crime)

A Wall Street Journal Best Mystery Book of 2024
LoveReading E-Book of the Month

“Miller is a melancholy master of atmosphere as well as a poet who knows how to cast a spell.”
—Air Mail

THE GOLDENACRE (2022) (Birlinn/Soho Crime)

Winner of the Shamus Award for Best First P.I. Novel.

The Goldenacre features a dense cast of vivid characters, not least Tallis, a tortured pilgrim worthy of a Graham Greene tale. The book—which explores through prose the interplay between light and darkness in the physical and moral worlds—is an ambitious and wonderfully realized work.”

–TOM NOLAN, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

ALL THE GALAXIES (2017) (Freight/Allen and Unwin)

‘Philip Miller takes the reader’s imagination, re-tunes it, and makes it run faster and farther than you ever thought it could. He re-defines God, while keeping the eternal struggle as blood, sweat and tears as ever….don’t look for answers, don’t expect conclusions. But do expect to feel a little bereft and to want much more of the same when you reach the end of this all consuming novel.’

Book of the Month – The Scot Magazine.

‘A riveting tale set in an entirely plausible future Glasgow. Elegant and enthralling. A wonderful read’

Denise Mina

THE BLUE HORSE (2015) (Freight)

‘The Blue Horse itself stands for something altogether more subtle, a symbol of both the fleetingness of life and its precise opposite, the ability of great art to hold back time….His portrait of George Newhouse, the art historian half-blinded by grief and drink, is well done, and that strange place, the art world, is brought convincingly to life. An impressive debut.’ 

David Robinson, Scotland on Sunday
