Description
Introducing Inspector Jimmy Perez. Raven Black is the first book in Ann Cleeves's bestselling Shetland series, adapted into a major BBC One drama starring Douglas Henshall.
A remote community with a killer in their midst . . .
On New Year's Day, Shetland lies buried beneath a deep layer of snow. Trudging home, Fran Hunter's eye is drawn to a vivid splash of colour on the white ground, ravens circling above. It is the strangled body of her teenage neighbour. As Fran opens her mouth to scream, the ravens continue their deadly dance . . .
The body is found close to the home of a lonely outcast and local suspicion falls firmly on him. But when Inspector Jimmy Perez insists on broadening the search for suspects, a veil of distrust and fear is thrown over the entire community. As the case develops, Perez finds himself peering deeper into the past of the Shetland Islands than anyone wants to go.
The case files of Jimmy Perez continue in White Nights, the thrilling second Shetland novel.
Praise for the gripping and atmospheric Shetland series:
'Cleeves' setting is beautifully evoked . . . this is as finely crafted and satisfying as a well-made piece of furniture - just look at the workmanship' - The Times
'Like a smoky Shetland peat fire, this elegantly written, slow-burning intrigue shrouds you in mystery and crackles with inner heat' - Peter James, author of the bestselling Roy Grace series
'A most satisfying mystery set in an isolated and intriguing location. Jimmy Perez is a fine creation' - Peter Robinson, author of the DCI Banks series

Der Fall ist aus verschiedenen Perspektiven geschrieben. Die Örtlichkeiten sind atmosphärisch beschrieben und Personen gut charakterisiert. Das ist interessant aber nicht spannend. Zeitweise war mir gar nicht bewusst, dass ich einen Krimi lese. Man konnte gut miträtseln, aber auf den Täter wäre ich nie gekommen. Das Ende war dann, wie auch das ganze Buch, eher ruhig. Mir hat es letztendlich Lust auf mehr gemacht.
