Witte nachten by Ann Cleeves

wyvernfriend's review against another edition

3.0

When a body is found hanged it's not suicide but murder and when another body is found it makes things even more complicated. In a small village there are not a lot of suspects and Jimmy Perez and Taylor have to search through the evidence and red herrings to find the truth.

Strangely the second book I've read with arctic style summers and winters in a row...

Enjoyed this on audio, but I think the first book was better.

Rather boring. Very much a bland ramble with an obvious and underwhelming plot. Too stuffed with tell, lacks show

Nice sense of place and good twist at the end.

It's a good murder mystery to keep you going, but it's not gripping enough, and some of the characters are a bit annoying. Maybe if I'd have read the first of the Shetland Quartet I would have liked it better.
