Reviews

Ann Cleeves is a stone cold geniusMarian Keyes, Sunday Times bestselling author of My Favorite Mistake
Ann Cleeves’ restless love of landscape and story brings us a bold and dramatic high stakes return for Jimmy PerezVal McDermid, bestselling author of Past Lying
Ann Cleeves’s elegance as a wordsmith, the ingenuity of her plots, and the depth of her characters can be matched by few writers. In The Killing Stones she brings back the beloved Jimmy Perez in a tale that highlights the entire spectrum of her formidable talents. I was instantly caught up in the sparkling world of her imagination and propelled through several hundred pages of great storytelling on the lonely isle of Orkney, where bodies keep turning up. This novel is more than worth every minute you spend with itDavid Baldacci, bestselling author of To Die For
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 mesmerizing crime novels – how we live nowMick Herron, bestselling author of Slow Horses on The Dark Wives
