Long weekend read!
I loved the Shetland series by BBC and have always wanted to read the series.
After a lot of cooking today, I finally deserve some rest! 😇

I think I‘d rather experience summer nights with little darkness than winter days with little sunlight.

Great book! Can't wait to continue with the series and maybe catch the TV show. The author kept you guessing.

This was good. It is quite atmospheric, but I tend to tune much of that out. I did have a bit of trouble figuring out all the characters at the start of the book; it didn‘t help that at least one of the characters (though I did eventually figure it out) was sometimes called by his first name and sometimes by his last. Overall, the story ended up being good, and I liked it as much as the first in the series and better than the other two.
When an elderly woman is shot in a tragic accident , Shetland detective Jimmy Perez is called to investigate. The sparse landscape and the emptiness of the ses have bred fierce and secretive people. Then there's another death, and, as the spring weather shrouds the island in mist, Jimmy must dig up old secrets to stop a new killer from striking again.
This book was SO good! It kept me guessing right up until the last chapter. Every time I thought I had figured it out, something happened to make me think again.
Thank you, @TheAromaofBooks , for selecting it as one of my #TrappedOnAnIsland choices! @aperfectmjk

While Jimmy is visiting his parents on Fair Isle to introduce Fran, one of the ornithologists at the bird observatory in a converted lighthouse is found dead, stabbed in the back.
Intriguing mystery with a great and unexpected ending to the first Shetland quartet.
After an archaeological dig on Sandy Wilson's grandmother's land unearths a skull and other bone fragments, the old lady is found dead. A tragic accident when a neighbour was out hunting rabbits or something more sinister?
A good mystery and it was interesting to see a bit of Sandy's backstory and for him to get some character development, but I could have done with a family tree.
At the opening of an art exhibition a man bursts into tears in front of one of the pictures, then says he has no memory of anything before seeing the picture. Nobody knows who he is but the next morning he is found hanged.
Intriguing mystery, interesting setting and characters.
A young woman's body is found in a field in Shetland near where a young girl went missing 8 years ago. Jimmy Perez is the local lead detective.
I realised early on who it wasn't but really didn't see the ending coming and who the real culprit was.
