Critics Review
-
A Winter Grave is timely and chilling, painting a disturbing picture of the future . . . it's a meticulously researched thriller with gravitas that grips from the first page . . . May's first novel in two years is among the best he's written.
S Magazine, Sunday Express
-
May has created a chilling believable near future . . . an atmospheric locked room mystery . . . this is as chilling as much for May's vision of where the we're heading as for the body count.
Observer
-
A gripping thriller set in a near future ravaged by the climate crisis.
Scots Mag
-
A Winter Grave is a superb thriller loaded with timely warnings.
