Winter Downs is a Winner! @Sotlive @Bennettsoc #awards #crimefiction #winterdowns #arnoldbennettprize

Just back from Cyprus with the fabulous news that Winter Downs has won the Arnold Bennett Book prize!

Shocked and awed!  I suspect there is no easy way to graciously accept any award because if other people are anything like me they don’t dare think about the possibility that they might actually be in the running. 

Finalists For the Arnold Bennett Book Prize

Way back in the throws of winter I was urged to enter my crime novel Winter Downs for the Arnold Bennett Book Prize.

I was completely shocked to be told this week that it was amongst the five titles that had been short listed, which are:

• Poetry anthology. A Less Clear Dream by Roger Bloor
• Historic murder mystery Winter Downs by Jan Edwards
• Murder mystery Red is the Colour by Mark L. Fowler
• Dystopian superhero novel Superhero City by Eddie Skelson
• Illustrated children’s book Nana Duck by Kathy Tallentire

The winners to be announced on 9^th June, so much nail biting before then!

A new 5* review for Winter Downs in the midst of the snow!

***

Review : Amazon.co.uk : Daz Pulsford

“What starts out as a mysterious death soon turns into a mystery of worrying proportions – there’s more than rustling afoot in this snowbound Sussex Downs village. The central character, Bunch, is determined to clear the first victim’s name, and doggedly pursues the leads as the drama unfolds.

Set in the bleak austerity of 1940, near the South Coast with its constant invasion threat, rationing, and blackout protocol – Bunch and her sister Dodo are pitted against not only the difficulties of communication and officialdom of the War, but also the complex tangle of classism and patriarchy.

Heavy snow acts like the treacle of difficulties Bunch must wade through to get to the truth, and combined with the immaculate attention to period detail, the writer’s own skill with the local dialect, and the easing reluctance of the Chief Inspector initially summoned to close a suicide case, our relentless narrator pieces the clues together to uncover a touch of evil pervading the village.

Are there more? I would hope so – I loved the characters, the energy of the plot and the feel of the time evoked in the details.”
