The Wild Swimmers: early reviews are coming in

Early reviews for The Wild Swimmers are coming in and I couldn’t be happier about how it’s being received so far. I was knocked out by this one:

“William Shaw now rivals Ann Cleeves in the art of combining compelling mysteries with evocations of Britain’s landscape, although his stamping ground is further south than Cleeves’s Shetland: the haunting coast around Dungeness. This fifth novel to feature DS Alexandra Cupidi finds her joining a wild-swimming club after one of their number drowns in odd circumstances. Apart from wanting to box Shaw’s ears when he placed one of my favourite characters from the series in danger, I spent most of the book applauding his artistry.” ★★★★★ Jake Kerridge, The Daily Telegraph

Great ones too in The Mail On Sunday, the Literary Review, The Times and The Irish Independent.
