Shetland: The Four Seasons:
Shetland: The Four Seasons: | Ann Cleeves
12 posts | 2 read | 4 to read
CWA Diamond Dagger winner Ann Cleevess Shetland Island series has long been beloved both by fans who have been intrigued by Detective Inspector Jimmy Perez from the very first page, and recent converts drawn in by the brilliant BBC series Shetland. Set in the most northerly community in the UK, the islands have a stark beauty that provides the backdrop for Jimmys quietly intense cases. Here together for the first time in a fantastic low-priced eBook bundle are the first four Shetland Island mysteries: Raven Black: Winner of the coveted Duncan Lawrie Dagger Award, Raven Black begins on New Years Eve with lonely outcast Magnus Tait. When the body of a murdered girl is discovered, suspicion falls on Magnus, and Inspector Jimmy Perez enters an investigative maze that leads deeper into the past of the Shetland Islands than anyone wants to go. White Nights: The launch of an exhibition at The Herring House art gallery is disturbed by a stranger who bursts into tears then claims not to remember who he is or where he comes from. The next day hes found dead, and Jimmy must follow the winding trail the stranger has left behind to its conclusion. Red Bones: When a young archaeologist discovers a set of human remains, the locals are intrigued. Is it an ancient findor a more contemporary mystery? Then an elderly woman is fatally shot, and Jimmy Perez is called in. In Red Bones, a claustrophobic mist swirls around the Shetland Islands, and Inspector Perez finds himself totally in the dark. Blue Lightning: Detective Inspector Jimmy Perez brings his fiance home to Fair Isle, a birders paradise, but when a womans body is discovered at the islands bird observatory, the investigation is hampered by a raging storm that renders the island totally isolated. Jimmy has to find clues the old-fashioned way, and he has to do it quickly. Theres a killer on the island just waiting for the chance to strike again.

I'm catching up on my Seasonal Readalongs this afternoon. This is such a beautiful book. Divided into section Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn. I've really enjoyed my reread.

"Autumn is the season of the Equinox, of fierce gales and big tides.....

Crinoline_Laphroaig "By the end of autumn the days are getting shorter again. The seabirds have left and the ravens have the cliffs to themselves. There are no more cruise ships in the harbour in Lerwick. Shetlanders prepare for the festivities of Christmas, Hogmanay, and Up Helly Aa, and for the cycle of the year to begin once more. #travelbybook #shetland 2y

Continuing my Seasonal Read with Summer:
"Midsummer in Shetland is a season of long days, and in June there are times when the sun seems to slide towards the horizon and then reappear almost immediately. In midsummer the sun is up for eighteen hours and fifty minutes, contrasting with just five hours and thirty minutes in midwinter."

? The Scotsman

Sorry for the delay. Last night I fell asleep on the couch!
1. So many series! Kinsey Millhone, LOTR, Harry Potter...and Shetland is a new favorite that I can‘t wait to continue once the library reopens and I can pick up the next book.
2. If I‘m still thinking about it months later
3. A wonderful rendition of Vivaldi‘s Four Seasons that I heard yesterday.
