NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY PUBLISHERS WEEKLY AND ESQUIRE
In the gorgeous new novel by the New York Times bestselling author of Outlawed, “a strangely well-preserved Iron Age body turns up in an English bog, and the American forensic anthropologist on the case is thrust into an absorbing, complex mystery” (People magazine).
When a body is found in a bog in northwest England, Agnes, an American forensic anthropologist, is called to investigate. But this body is not like any she’s ever seen. Though its bones prove it was buried more than two thousand years ago, it is almost completely preserved.
Soon Agnes is drawn into a mystery from the distant past, called to understand and avenge the death of an Iron Age woman more like her than she knows. Along the way, she must contend with peat-cutters who want to profit from the bog and activists who demand that the land be left undisturbed. Then there’s the moss itself: a complex repository of artifacts and remains, with its own dark stories to tell.
As Agnes faces the deep history of what she has unearthed, she’s also forced to question what she thought she knew about her talent, her self-reliance, and her place in the world. Flashing between the uncertainty of post-Brexit England and the druidic order of Celtic Europe at the dawn of the Roman era, Bog Queen brims with contemporary urgency and ancient wisdom as it connects across time two gifted, farsighted young women learning to harness their strange strengths in a landscape more mysterious and complex than either can imagine.©2025 Anna North (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Kritikerstimmen
In this ecologically inflected novel, Agnes, a forensic anthropologist is asked to identify the body of a woman found in an English peat bog . . . the novel alternates between Agnes’s life and that of the woman, a Celtic druid . . . Agnes’s investigation sparks a new attention to the world around her, and the novel’s sensibility mirrors the peat organisms themselves.
Bog Queen is a literary page turner . . . North balances the nitty-gritty of anthropological work with the mystery of an Iron Age druid, unraveling how she ended up the titular 'bog queen.'
North reaches new heights with this brilliant novel.
A strangely well-preserved Iron Age body turns up in an English bog, and the American forensic anthropologist on the case is thrust into an absorbing, complex mystery.
Anna North's new novel captures attention even before the first page.
Daring, delightful, and moving.
An absolute astonishment.
An intricate work of historical fiction, a tightly woven mystery reminiscent of the police procedural Bones, and perhaps most of all, a transfixing excavation of the competing interests converging on the natural world in our present moment of ecological devastation, economic precarity, and historical forgetting . . . This expansive tale is about much more than a battle among scientists, environmentalists, and corporate interests. In confronting questions of duty, ambition, and community, North’s magical novel renders the world—both ancient and modern—mysterious to us again.
I was completely engrossed by Anna North's Bog Queen, a tense and atmospheric literary thriller with a strong sense of place.
A remarkably crafted tale that asks important questions about the imprint we leave on our loved ones, our culture, and our land.
In measured, textural prose, North takes us from the expected mysteries of a body in a bog into a reflection on the web of life that links everyone. That insight, combined with a page-turning narrative, makes Bog Queen a book with something to offer any thoughtful reader.
A memorable tale of the unexpected linkages of history, land, and female power. North widens her range with this layered mystery-meets-ancient-history mashup.
To this resonant mystery, the author Anna North brings a timely exploration of power, landscape and deep time, building a mesmerising novel.
[A] complex and beautifully written story that explores female power and leadership across time, as well as environmental concerns. It also meshes past and present in surprising ways, illustrating the connections between humans and nature and our evolving belief systems . . . Bog Queen offers everything fans love about historical fiction: a fascinating look back through time with memorable characters, remarkable settings and a story that moves along at a steady clip.
A very tender story
