Over the years Cleeves has become a key name within the world of prime time television, with many of her series making it on-screen.

Cleeves would also write the much loved ‘Shetland Islands’ books, starting with Raven Black in 2006, and these would also feature various different mysteries. These would be set in and around Newcastle and Northumberland, featuring the Detective Inspector Vera Stanhope solving various cases. Following this franchise she’d turn to perhaps her most famous novels yet, her Vera Stanhope stories, beginning with The Crow Trap in 1999. Starting her ‘Inspector Ramsay’ series in 1990 with A Lesson in Dying, she’d then begin writing about the Northumberland based detective. The debut book from Ann Cleeves would come out in 1986 titled A Bird in The Hand, which would also be the first Palmer-Jones mystery. All of this has proven to be a huge success, so much so that she’s had her work adapted for television on numerous occasion. Many of her novels are also set in the Shetland Islands, as she has her locations become just as much a part of the action as her characters. Featuring long-running protagonists such as the well known Vera Stanhope, she’s found an international audience with her uniquely British stories.
