Gripping and involving. *by D***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 September 2018* Having bought Belinda Bauer's latest paperback Snap on impulse and loving it, I immediately ordered her first three novels, Blacklands being the first.Wow! Another 12 year old boy as the central character, Steven, living a somewhat deprived life in a family living under the shadow of his uncle, who was murdered as a boy.It quickly gets very dark as he writes to the notorious child murderer linked to the murder.Very emotionally involving, very tense, and a lovingly bleak portrayal of the moors.Just like in Snap, the use of a 12 year old struggling to get by and make sense of a difficult life drawers you in, (this character reminded me of the boy in A Monster Calls), and it's very effective.As a parent of a 10 (soon to be 11) year old boy myself, the thought processes of the boy ring very true, and perhaps make it all the more harrowing.Very highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cracking story *by V***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 March 2021* If you haven't already read Belinda Bauer, you should start now. Everything she writes is excellent, including Blacklands. (If you've already read her, you know.) Imagination, tension, humour and great humanity. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ AS DARK AS IT GETS *by K***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 March 2017* Pretty dark, this. It’s about a serial killer, a child killer like Ian Brady who falls into correspondence with the 12-year old nephew of one of his murdered victims, whose buried body has never been found. Written from the twelve year old nephew’s POV it illuminates extremely well the impact the killing has had on the surviving family through the years: his Gran, Poor Mrs Peters who stands immobile, looking out of the window all day every day for twenty years; his mum, abandoned and struggling to cope with two young boys and her grim, morose mother while trying to hold down two jobs and still be home when they return from school. The twelve-year old himself, teased and bullied in class because of his impoverished, blighted situation, without either a dad or a decent pair of shoes. It’s very much the sort of thing I might have written myself; not a psychological thriller exactly more of a family saga with very dark deeds playing out underneath. It won a CWA Dagger Award so clearly the publisher and author regard it as Crime Fiction but although I liked it I am not sure that say a reader of Jack Reacher or Iain Rankin would find a great deal to interest them. It’s too slow and there is no violence and no sex and no police. All ticks in my boxes but these are usually the essentials of Crime Fiction.What actually sets it apart is the genius of the actual correspondence: what a brilliant literary device it is. This is the reason she won the Dagger Award. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/388506944-blacklands](https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/388506944-blacklands) --- *Product available on Desertcart Egypt* *Store origin: EG* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
