"Raven Black" by Ann Cleeves
From Good Reads...
"Raven Black begins
on New Year’s Eve with a lonely outcast named Magnus Tait, who stays
home waiting for visitors who never come. But the next morning the body
of a murdered teenage girl is discovered nearby, and suspicion falls on
Magnus."
A thriller! Yes, a thriller! I enjoyed it. I admit that the author kept me guessing... Which for me, is a good read.
It seemed to sort of slow down, in the middle. But once the story "got wind in its sails" again, it whipped along.
If you enjoy a mystery, set in another part of the world, which lets the atmosphere-of-place seep into your bones, you'll enjoy this book.
