A classic detective story, but not English, but Scottish. How does a Scottish detective story differ from an English one? First of all, the atmosphere is mysterious, alarming, the tension thickens with every page, so that at the end it is sure to splash out with an unexpected ending. Anne Cleeves is a follower of Scotland's most successful detective writer, Ian Rankin. It weaves together a detective story, a psychological story, and sets it all in a mysterious Scottish landscape. Raven's Wing is not just a Scottish detective story, but a Shetland mystery, as the story takes place on one of the Shetland Islands. Cold January morning, snowy Shetland. The monochrome pale landscape is broken by only one bright spot, over which crows are circling. The body of a young girl lies on the frozen ground... Serious crimes have never occurred on the island, and murder becomes the main event for all residents without exception. Everything indicates that Magnus, a lonely old man with oddities, is guilty of the terrible crime. But soon almost all the inhabitants of the island come under suspicion. And for the first time, they are starting to lock the doors and windows here - because a mysterious killer is still roaming the island.
