Raven Black - A Mystery




« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Take a break from the long, hot days this summer with a visit to the Shetland Islands of Scotland! Our study group will be reading and viewing Raven Black, the first of the Shetland Island Mysteries by Ann Cleeves, for which she won the Crime Writers' Association Duncan Lawrie Dagger (formerly the Gold Dagger) Award for the best crime novel of the year. The judges praised it for its "superb sense of place” and called it "a depiction of an enclosed community with modern and entrenched values constantly competing, and a thrilling read.” (Cleeves was later chosen as the recipient of the Cartier Diamond Dagger Award for “sustained excellence” in crime fiction, and was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to reading and libraries.) For our study group, any edition of Raven Black (Minotaur Books, 2008) may be used, and it is available in hard copy, ebook, and audiobook from your library and online. We will be reading Raven Black the first three weeks of the term and watching the BBC version the last week. Come join us as we learn more about the Shetland Islands - and murder!
