In the Crow Trap, we head over the North Pennines for the windswept and desolate moors, but not before visiting the stunning sights of Northumberland such as Wooler, RAF Boulmer, Kimmerston and the stunning surroundings of this beautiful part of the worldįor this is where three women have gathered in order to carry out an environmental study.
Kimmerston is central to the novel and is where Bella has connectionsĪnne seems to have a friend in the Craster smokery who kept her well supplied – įarnons is sadly no more but you can still visit M&S and Bainbridge although the latter is now John Lewisįor the whole range of wonderful locations – two websites have it all – Baikie’s cottage is here too.Ĭould this be Hope Crag as it made us think of it when we saw it The main setting for the novel and the landscape of the environmental study. This is her patch and she is after the truth…. The land is of interest to a local quarry business and the local farm is at the centre of the area being studied.īut what Rachel finds there on arrival shocks her to the core and reveals a deep seated mine of intrigue and ultimately murder.Ĭue Vera and her acerbic wit and investigative style – this is a Northern DCI with a harsh exterior but a softer centre – just don’t underestimate her that’s all we’re saying. But each of the woman comes with more baggage that than which contains their soil collecting samples and landscaping equipment.Įach has a link to the land in some way and a personal search for answers of some sort. They are to stay at a local cottage and live together whilst their work is completed.
Set mainly in the remote landscape of the North Pennines, three very different women come together to complete an environmental survey. Why a booktrail? Vera burst into the literary scenes back in 1999 and both she and her creator Ann Cleeves have put the North East of England firmly on the literary map.
