A thoroughly engrossing thriller * Mail on Sunday * Cleeves’ Northumberland novels are strong on atmosphere, combining old-fashioned detective work with a modern take on class * The Sunday Times * Who doesn’t love ‘large and shabby’ Vera Stanhope, the blunt detective in Ann Cleeves’ Northumberland police procedurals? She is already one of the genre immortals. Cleeves delivers some choice Vera moments in The Darkest Evening * The New York Times * In a world where celebrities debut on bestseller charts, Cleeves is an old-school crime writer in every sense, working her way up the list over years, building a readership while honing her craft -- Brian McGilloway on <i>The Rising Tide</i>
