I've enjoyed this book. Specially as I can picture some scenery and characters in my head because I've watched (and lpved) the BBC series. However, I think there are aroun 100 pages extra in this book.

This was an excellently done mystery! I had absolutely no idea who did it, and the ending both shocked and satisfied me by tying up all the loose ends. I’ve heard a lot about the tv show Shetland, which is based on Ann Cleeve’s novels, and considering how much I enjoyed the reading of this book, I would definitely watch the show and read more from the series!

Glad to have another murder-mystery series to dip into when I need a break from other fare. I had watched the first ep of Shetland, but managed to remember next to nothing at all, so the book was still a suspense.

Listened to the version read by Gordon Griffin. It was a long and slow book, just like the show. But honestly somehow I was hooked the whole time and I had to keep listening to find out what happened. One of the few slow burns I actually enjoyed will definitely get around to listening to the others.
