We're delighted to welcome Cressida Downing to Morpeth Waterstones to talk about her thrilling debut novel, Consider The Ravens, a thrilling murder mystery set on 15th Century Holy Island, where scribe Linnet, on the run from a dangerous and criminal past, encounters a series of murders set amongst the monks of Lindisfarne.
Cressida is a natural writer, with an incredible ability to weave a richly textured story' LJ Ross
Consider the Ravens offers a superb trip back in time to 15th century Lindisfarne, which is evoked with a tremendous sense of place and engaging characters as woman scribe Linnet and priory orphan Isabelle, accompanied by her glorious raven, Pol, flit through the light and shadows of a windswept monastic world' S G Maclean, author of The Bookseller of Inverness'In this gripping mystery, remote Lindisfarne chills us to the bone and surrounds us with engaging misfits and malefactors. Linnet the scribe and her awkward young companion Isabelle are a delight and we follow them gladly into a vividly drawn world' Glennis Virgo, author of City of Silk
