SHORT-LISTED FOR THE EAST ANGLIAN BOOK AWARD 2021 // Category judge, Kate Weston of UEA, said of Glass Arrows: Unmistakably East Anglian in its setting, Glass Arrows, the 2nd in a series by Peck featuring DCI Greg Geldard. Glass Arrows explores a dark side to rural communities and agricultural crimes, and tackles such issues with realism and sensitivity, from the personal impact of a bird flu outbreak to the challenges of recognising modern slavery. Glass Arrows keeps the reader engaged from start to finish, with remarkable attention to the details of a criminal investigation by Peck. A page-turner that, as a reader, would be enjoyable on screen as well as on the page.; Tough subjects are explored with care and informed knowledge [...] If you like crime fiction or are a fan of police TV dramas, I would definitely recommend this book 4/5 stars, @BroomsReviews;...an exciting narrative and plenty of surprises to keep you turning the pages. What could have been a pedestrian whodunnit was avoided by the wealth of background in the story. Themes around organised crime and modern slavery were explained and explored sensitively, from The Untidy Bookshelf; Glass Arrows is an authentically set and described crime novel and I urge you not to let it fall under your radar! If you like a realistic police-procedural you will love this. from Rutherford Reads; Heather Peck has created a winning character in Geldard [...] this feels like a much more realistic sort of police procedural than the magical deduction of a detective mastermind, from @Scintilla_Info; I highly recommend this book for fans of crime thrillers and police procedurals [...] Just make sure that wherever you settle, you have plenty of snacks and drinks as you won't want to tear yourself away from this immersive page turner, from @Karteabooks
