The Crust on Its Uppers

A sharp London crime novel by Derek Raymond, full of class tension, grit, and dark humour, bringing the city’s underbelly vividly to life.

Some items on Kate's Treasures15 are chosen because they are beautiful or useful. Some are here because they meant something to my dad. He was an actor, a scriptwriter, and a serious collector of films and books that had something to say. This is one of those pieces.

This novel drops you straight into a world of sharp edges, shifting loyalties, and people trying to outrun the lives they were handed. It carries that brilliant mix of atmosphere and bite, where the city feels just as important as the plot.

It is the kind of writing that feels raw and immediate, with characters that stay with you.

If you like crime fiction with grit, wit, and a strong sense of place, this is a cracking read.

Arya's Approval
Right darlings, this one has grit, bite, and the sort of atmosphere that makes London feel like a character in its own right. It is sharp, darkly funny, and full of people trying to claw their way through a world that is not built to be kind. Proper gripping if you like crime fiction with edge.
