A peerless exercise in suspense
Dean's series about deaf Swedish reporter Tuva Moodyson is a must read - and this book is his best yet... Black River is eerie, unnerving and buckets of fun
Just finished Will Dean's Black River. Splendid to catch up with Tuva Moodyson and that very special world . . . Such a BRILLIANT central character . . . great on women's friendships
Once again, I LOVED it!!! Do yourself a favour and read the first two books in the series
Tuva Moodyson is back in the Swedish town of Gavrik at the height of Midsomar celebrations on the hunt for her missing best friend Tammy, but summer in Gavrik is just as dangerous as winter and in this compelling, intriguing, brilliantly written thriller, the relentless pace drives you forward until you are hanging on to the pages by your fingertips, afraid to go on, but terrified to put it down. Another masterpiece from Mr Dean
My favourite Tuva novel yet . . . atmospheric and chilling
An atmospheric and electrifying return. ****
A chilling atmospheric thriller that leaves the reader breathless
Black River what can I say? Will Dean raises the bar yet again. Suspenseful, distinctive, each page crackles with menace. Everything you could want in a thriller
Packed with suspense...a novel that will keep you gripped to the very end
Black River is the third instalment of a series that has breathed new life into Scandi Noir and Tuva is a wonderfully crafted heroine whom it is easy to cheer for. The sense of foreboding slowly builds throughout the novel before Dean delivers a cracking finale
The pace is as fast as it is electric, the writing fresh and descriptive.. the dialogue crisp and the bonds between women sensitively explored... This book is a winner
Absolutely love the Tuva Moodyson crime series and Black River doesn't disappoint... Knocked it out of the park
Best Tuva yet! And I've loved them all
Black River is an incredible read!
Devouring Will Dean's Black River, possibly my favourite of his Tuva Moodyson mysteries. Certainly one of the best series of recent years - the perfect blend of pace, plot & atmosphere
Well, this was another absolute cracker. Thank you Will Dean for letting me spend some more time with one of my favourite crime fiction characters - Tuva Moodyson. Atmospheric, creepy and utterly gripping
Terrifically tense, Black River is Tuva's most intense story yet. Loved it
I can't believe how Will Dean keeps getting better and better! ONCE AGAIN I thought I was soooo smart and knew what was going on and ONCE AGAIN I did not! I loved this one *so* much, loved all the new characters and places. And it's so PACY! A dream
Dean has created an electric and relatable character who has been through the tragedy of losing both her parents but comes back stronger and more resilient time and time again... The writing successfully created a claustrophobic feel... an all-round successful creep-fest... if you're an old faithful fan or a new reader of Will Dean, Black River will have you hooked
A riveting mystery, one of those stories that gives you the impression that the answer is staring you in the face, tantalisingly, teasingly close at hand and yet you can't see the wood for the trees... Reading Black River is an immersive experience... tense and wrought with danger
Just brilliant. Tense, atmospheric, original with a lead character who's not like any other
Dean effectively re-creates the frustration and discomfort of high summer in the forested hills... [Tuva Moodyson] is becoming more credible with each novel in the series and Dean brings a refreshingly different voice and setting to the subgenre of 'femjep' crime writing
Dean just gets better and better and this chilling, gripping story features one of the best crime fiction leads of the last decade
Hats off to Will Dean who... is beating the Scandi-noir writers at their own crime caper game... I loved it!' 10*
Very definitely recommended
