The Wolf Hunters Summary

The Wolf Hunters by Amanda Mitchison

She uncovers a terrifying truth that will put her own life in jeopardy. A new writer to this genre, Amanda Mitchison has hit the ground running with a new spin to Tartan Noir.

About Amanda Mitchison

Amanda Mitchison was born and brought up in Edinburgh. She spent her twenties abroad working as a journalist. She now lives in Bristol and works as a Royal Literary Fund fellow at Cardiff University. When her two sons were born, she stayed at home and started writing books for children. She has published seven children's books and won an Arts Council scholarship. Her biography of David Livingstone was shortlisted for the Blue Peter Award. Her interest in depicting the world as vividly as possible has influenced everything she has written, even her hyper-realistic pet care guide to dragons. The same realism holds true for The Wolf Hunters, which is Amanda's first adult novel. The book involved extensive research into rewilding and the difficulties in making a Highland estate pay its way. The setting is firmly rooted in the wilds of Ardnamurchan and the locations that feature in the novel-the Victorian mansion, the 13th-century tower on its tidal island, the mountains and ancient oak forests, the lighthouse, the old lead mines above Strontian-are all real places. The Wolf Hunters is Amanda's debut in crime fiction. She is now writing a love story set in 1745. To read documents from the time she is learning Scottish Gaelic. She is finding it very hard.
