I’ve been reading quite a lot of high octane thrillers this year and was in a mood for a good crime mystery that was compelling. Raven Black by Ann Cleeves was an unexpected gem that I found at the library. Here’s to finding another new author that I like! Synopsis from hardcover book, 376 pages, copyright 2006 and published by MinotaurBooks.įind Ann Cleves: Website | Facebook | Twitter Review: For the first time in years, Catherine’s neighbors nervously lock their doors, while a killer lives on in their midst. But when detective Jimmy Perez and his colleagues from the mainland insist on opening out the investigation, a veil of suspicion and fear is thrown over the entire community. The locals on the quiet island stubbornly focus their gaze on one man- loner and simpleton Magnus Tait. It is the strangled body of her teenage neighbor, Catherine Ross. Trudging home, Fran Hunter’s eye is drawn to a splash of color on the frozen ground, ravens circling above. It is a cold January morning and Shetland lies beneath a deep layer of snow.
