'Ann's characterization is worthy of the best writers in the field ... Rarely has a sense of place been so evocatively conveyed in a crime novel' Daily Express 'A fine and sinister psychological novel in the Barbara Vine style. Cleeves is part of a new generation of superior British writers who put refreshing new spins and twist on the old forms' Globe and Mail 'Ann Cleeves won the Duncan Lawrie Gold Dagger for Raven Black and rightly so. It's in the tradition of the small community murder mystery, but done with a depth that infuses this genre with new realism. A young girl is murdered in the Shetlands and an elderly recluse stands accused, as the lives of a complex society become intertwined to a fascinating effect' Independent 'Raven Black breaks the conventional mould of British crime-writing, while retaining the traditional virtues of strong narrative and careful plotting' Independent 'If this sounds like The Wicker Man meets Psycho then that was my initial reaction, but, as the plot develops, this turns out to be an exquisitely original story in its own right. In fact, I was less able to fathom who the "killer" was than in either of the aforementioned films. This is an absolute must for crime drama fans and you'll be kept guessing right up until the last crucial moments on a beach as to who is the real villain of the piece' Radio Times (about the Radio 4 Saturday Play of Raven Black) 'Raven Black shows what a fine writer Cleeves is ... an accomplished and thoughtful book' Sunday Telegraph 'Beautifully constructed ... a lively and surprising addition to a genre that once seemed moribund' Times Literary Supplement
