Praise for Black River

‘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.’

Observer, thriller of the month

‘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.’

Ann Cleeves, author of the Vera Stanhope novels

‘A peerless exercise in suspense.’

Financial Times

‘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.’

Liz Nugent, author of Our Little Cruelties

‘My favourite Tuva novel yet... Atmospheric and chilling.’

Jane Casey, author of The Cutting Place

‘An atmospheric and electrifying return.’

****Heat

‘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.’

Chris Whitaker, author of We Begin at the End

Praise for Red Snow

‘For all those who loved Dark Pines by Will Dean I can tell you that the forthcoming sequel, Red Snow is even better. Scandi noir meets Gormenghast. Just wonderful. Can’t get enough of Tuva Moodyson.’

Mark Billingham, author of the Tom Thorne novels

‘A complex plot suffused with the nightmarish quality of Twin Peaks and a tough-minded, resourceful protagonist add up to a stand-out read.’

Guardian

‘Makes the blood run even colder than Dark Pines: Will Dean goes from strength to strength.’

Erin Kelly, author of He Said / She Said

‘This is just what crime fiction readers want: the old magic formula made to seem fresh.’

Telegraph, best thrillers and crime fiction of 2019

‘Great Scandi noir with an excellent heroine. Though beware – liquorice will never taste the same again.’

Ruth Ware, author of One by One

‘Total Scandi vibes, a cracking plot and a hugely likeable heroine: the dream.’

Grazia

‘This is a crime novel of poise and polish, peopled with utterly compelling characters. Claustrophobic, chilling and as dark as liquorice. Brilliant.’

Fiona Cummins, author of The Neighbour

Praise for Dark Pines

‘The tension is unrelenting, and I can’t wait for Tuva’s next outing.’

Val McDermid, author of the Tony Hill and Carol Jordan novels

‘Memorably atmospheric, with a dogged and engaging protagonist, this is a compelling start to what promises to be an excellent series.’

Guardian

‘The best thriller I’ve read in ages.’

Marian Keyes, author of Grown Ups

‘Atmospheric, creepy and tense. Loved the Twin Peaks vibe. Loved Tuva. More please!’

C. J. Tudor, author of The Chalk Man

‘A remarkably assured debut, Dark Pines is in turn, tense, gripping and breathtaking, and marks out Will Dean as a true talent. Definitely one to watch.’

Abir Mukherjee, author of A Rising Man

‘Dean never lets the tension drop as his story grows ever more sinister.’

Daily Mail
