A Gripping, Clever Mystery with Heart and Humour

The Croaking Raven is a masterpiece of wit and intrigue, weaving the dark drama of Hamlet into a thrilling modern-day murder mystery. Guy Hale’s genius shines through on every page, from the razor-sharp writing to the intricately plotted twists that kept me guessing until the end.

The standout element for me was the camaraderie between DC Toby Marlowe and DS Fred Williams. Their dynamic is both heartwarming and hilarious, bringing much-needed levity to the dark undertones of the story. The way they work together—balancing determination, humour, and genuine friendship—adds a rich layer to the narrative that makes them incredibly likable.

Set against the evocative backdrop of Stratford-upon-Avon, the story brims with Shakespearean echoes while staying fresh and contemporary. With revenge, murder, and a touch of theatrical flair, this book is a must-read for anyone who loves a smart, character-driven mystery. I can’t wait to see where Marlowe and Williams go next!
