Cleeves is part of a new generation of superior British writers."—-The Globe and Mail (Canada)"A riveting read."—-Val McDermid, author of A Place of Execution"Beautifully constructed . . . brings alive the tensions in a place where everyone knows everyone else and nothing can be forgotten. Raven Black is lively and surprising."—-Times Literary Supplement (UK)"Ann's characterization is worthy of the best writers in the field. . . .
