Über diesen Titel
On an Island full of secrets
The truth lies in the dark
A gripping and atmospheric debut crime thriller set on an isolated Scottish island…
A mysterious death
On a small island off the coast of Scotland, an isolated community is grieving. Eighteen-year-old Alan Ferguson was found at the foot of the lighthouse – an apparent suicide.
Two detectives trapped on an island
DIs Georgina Lennox and Richard Stewart are sent to investigate. But a raging storm keeps them trapped on the island for four days. And the locals don’t take kindly to mainlanders.
A village full of suspects
As George and Ritchie question the island’s inhabitants, they discover a village filled with superstition and shrouded in secrets.
But someone wants those secrets to stay buried. At any cost.

Kritikerstimmen
The Wolf Tree is a stunning debut: a wild, vivid landscape and a propulsive mystery you simply have to know the answer to. It will have you on the edge of your seat, desperate to know what the small Scottish community is hiding
(Leah Pitt)Atmospheric and immersive, The Wolf Tree's isolated and storm-battered Hebridean setting is vividly evoked, and McCluskey has a sharp ear for rhythm and cadence, which lends a persuasive authenticity to her dialogue. Her descriptions of the sodden landscape and its outwardly welcoming but secretly watchful inhabitants creates a mounting chill that seeps into the bones
(M. K. Murphy)An exciting new voice in crime fiction
(Pip Drysdale)Absorbing, unsettling, and deeply accomplished
(Dervla McTiernan)The Wolf Tree is an exquisitely executed tale. Laura McCluskey’s debut is a great gothic slow-burn that will keep you thinking and guessing even after you’ve reached the end
(Louisa Luna)Laura McCluskey’s thrilling debut blends detective novel and folk horror to terrific effect. Eilean Eadar’s ancient secrets and vibrant present-day characters—including our beautifully complex mainlander heroes—had me riveted to the page
(Jennifer Thorne)Mare of Easttown meets The Wickerman in Laura McCluskey’s deft, intricate, perfectly executed debut thriller. The Wolf Tree is a darkly brilliant synthesis of hard-nosed procedural and folk eerie
(Nick Newman)Congratulations to Laura on such an atmospheric story. I loved her writing style and the setting and the character of George in particular
(Helen Cooper)An impressive crime debut dripping with atmosphere and threat, Laura McCluskey’s The Wolf Tree will take you to a chilling cliff-edge of suspense, then hold you there until the very last page
(Hannah Richell)McCluskey is masterful at building suspense around a sense of place and a feeling of otherness
