Reviews

Like Rendell and James before her, like McDermid and Rankin today, Ann Cleeves is one of our secret chroniclers, charting – under cover of a series of expertly plotted and mesmerising crime novels – how we live now
Ann Cleeves has a special place in her heart for Stanhope, and the shortcomings of the care system engage the sympathies of the author in this heart-wrenching story
A thoroughly engrossing thriller
Cleeves’s Northumberland novels are strong on atmosphere, combining old-fashioned detective work with a modern take on class
