A Shetland Winter Mystery | 
This was a much more detailed book than a lot of mystery / crime books are. It took its time to patiently build up the scene, introducing you to the main characters and giving you a real flavour of Shetland, living in Shetland and the environment of the area.
It took quite a while to introduce the crimes which really then seemed to come out of nowhere as real crimes would and you saw the effect on the community.
Good storytelling and characterisation is maintained throughout the book. This is actually book 10 in the Shetland Sailing Mysteries Series which I hadn‘t realised when I started reading it but it holds up really well as a standalone.

It has a list of the local vocabulary used in the book to help the reader and to keep the local flavour.
