The atmosphere was really what I needed at the moment. Only thing really stopping it from 4 stars was the explanation for the murders seemed a bit weird.

Brilliant series - one of the few that is just as good in book and show forms! They switched readers for the last two books and while that usually throws me off in a series, the new reader has what I think (not really an experts, but I think) is a more authentic Shetland accent.

Interesting read, the ending did not truly capture my attention. It seemed to drag on for a while

In the last book the story left off with a terrible tragedy to Detective Jimmy Perez. I wasn't sure how they were going to deal with it in this story but they did it well. Perez was grieving, living in his depression, but a murder on his island starts to bring him out of his funk. A new detective comes to town, Willow, and she's good. She manages to pique Perez's interest in the case and he begins to assist with small interviews and tasks and then he's wrapped up in it. The story was pretty good and left me guessing until the very end.
