THE VIEW FROM FEZ: Black Widow - A novel on the aftermath of Beslan.

"Black Widow is one of the most moving and thought provoking books of the year, a psychological thriller that humanises a tragedy and examines the possible result of succumbing to the “eye-for-an-eye” urge that would pass through all victims. Beautifully paced and sensitively presented this is an outstanding novel."

From Crime down under review:

Read full review: Black Widow - A novel on the aftermath of Beslan.



'Would you be capable of killing to avenge the death of a child? … — a story like Beslan can seem so very far away. In Black Widow, McCutcheon brings it right up close in chilling, painful detail. The cleverly constructed plot will propel you through the pain of it. It's a taut psychological drama carefully written with compassion and empathy.' — Lucy Clark, Sunday Telegraph

If you like the work of John Le Carré and Martin Cruz Smith, you’ll love the work of Sandy McCutcheon.’— Herald Sun
