Publisher Description
WINNER OF THE CRIME WRITERS' ASSOCIATION DIAMOND DAGGER AWARD 2017
Blue Lightning is the fourth book in Ann Cleeves' Shetland series featuring Detective Jimmy Perez.
NOW A MAJOR BBC DRAMA
With the autumn storms raging, Fair Isle feels cut off from the rest of the world. Trapped, tension is high and tempers become frayed. Enough to drive someone to murder . . .
A woman's body is discovered at the renowned Fair Isles bird observatory, with feathers threaded through her hair. The islanders react with fear and anger. Detective Jimmy Perez has no support from the mainland and must investigate the old-fashioned way. He soon realizes that this is no crime of passion - but a murder of cold and calculated intention.
There's no way off the island until the storms abate - and so the killer is also trapped, just waiting for the opportunity to strike again.
Customer Reviews
A solid story, not that predictable
I love the characters in these books, they way they grow and develop and the way the author has also developed. The writing is smooth as silk, and characters have distinct voices, which is not easy to achieve. The tale in this book is perhaps a bit too Christie- ish for my taste but that’s a taste issue, nothing more. I am now moving straight to the next book...
