Synopsis

The truth can be hidden . . . but secrets always surface

The peace of Kielder Water is shattered when tourists open a barrel they found floating in the reservoir at dawn. Detectives Stone and Oliver are called to examine the skeletal remains inside.

The tourists are eliminated from the investigation, but that same day a second body is discovered - this one with skin. Have the police let the killer leave the scene?

While Stone investigates the remains, Oliver travels to Iceland to gather evidence and track down the tourists who have fled. Someone will do anything to protect the secrets of the past...

Praise for Black Fell:

'Black Fell is a gripping police procedural with lots of twists and turns. I couldn't put it down. Highly recommended.' SIMON McCLEAVE

'Not many crime writers can master authenticity, plot and character but Mari Hannah always delivers on all three. Black Fell is another cracking addition to the Stone and Oliver series and the back and forth relationship between the pair is so genuinely complex and endearing that you'd swear you'd met them in real life. Can't wait for the next instalment' TREVOR WOOD

'Of course there's a pacy plot, as we'd expect from Hannah, and of course a real authenticity in the police background, but more importantly we explore a cast of characters who have complexity, humour and depth' ANN CLEEVES

'Mari get's better and better. Black Fell is both twisty and absorbing, with a premise that delivers and then some!' VICTORIA SELMAN

'Terrific writing. Gripping and intricately plotted, compassionate, funny and wise.' KATE LONDON

4 / 5 Solid book I must say. First book I’ve read of DCI David stone and DS Frankie Oliver, this book is good. It has everything you need from heavy detail place procedure to a wild chase.

Goodreads review by Lesley on January 26, 2025

This was a long book, but somehow it didn't feel it! All the different strands in the plot came together cleverly to make this novel really great to read. The narrative was great, the writing and chapter lengths were pacy and the characters are really good. I enjoyed it very much and the backgrounds......more

Goodreads review by Holli on March 04, 2024

This book really really ‘meh’ for me - I just couldn’t relate to the characters and I just plodded along with the plot. I really liked Her Last Request so thought this would be similar, but sadly, I feel like I have wasted time on this book. I definitely won’t be looking to read about Stone and Oliv......more

Of course there's a pacy plot, as we'd expect from Hannah, and of course a real authenticity in the police background, but more importantly we explore a cast of characters who have complexity, humour and depth. These are people with whom I'd love to spend an evening in the pub! Ann Cleeves
