Where Crows Would Die
Crime novel with an agricultural background, set on farms on the Black Mountain in the 1960s and 1970s.
Only child Bethan moves with her family to a remote house at the foot of the mountains. She is soon mesmerised by a dysfunctional family farming nearby and befriends the wild daughter, Nia. Nia's troubled and violent older half-brother Morgan both scares and fascinates Bethan, and as she grows to adulthood she gets pulled further and further into his world. A black sheep with nobody to love him, does a yearning for human connection lurk behind the invaluable help he offers, or something more sinister?
