pickI found this quite intriguing and liked the characters. I loved the descriptions of Shetland, they‘re atmospheric and give a Norwegian/Icelandic vibe. It‘s a bit of a slow burner at first but when I got into it more, I really enjoyed it and found it gripping. It has all the usual plot elements - twists, turns and the odd red herring. It kept me turning the pages. An engaging wintry mystery which I can recommend.
I‘m reading this book with my local book club. It‘s the tenth in the Shetland Sailing Mysteries. I haven‘t read the previous nine books. I much prefer to start with the first in a series but never mind! The theme is a story set during winter.
pickAnother book from my end of year reading. This series gets better and better as Washington Poe and Tilly Bradshaw bring their unique skills to investigating gruesome crimes. In this, a body of a man tattooed with religious scripture + curious code is found stoned to death. The subsequent trail leads poe to his deadliest finale so far. Page turner and with an ending that leaves more questions about their future.
I doubt I'm going to get my book finished by Thursday, so I'm calling it. It was VERY CLOSE between this and Conclave, but as Turton has gone on my tentative plans for next year and Harris hasn't, I'm going with that. If it could be tied, it definitely would be!

so-soThe latest Rhona MacLeod opens with a revenge killing: but revenge for what? Set at Xmas but not at all festive!
“ Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.”
I just finished this lyrical & brutal novel, where the light succeeds & darkness recedes.
In this novel, the landscape is its own atmospheric character, which in turn shapes the characters and their lives.
