Hi! This review doesn't contain any spoilers so please read on!
As part of my Reading Challenge, I ended up scouring the Amazon Kindle deals and buying pretty much any book that was less than £1.99 and had more than a 4 star review (which is actually ALOT of books...) to try and ramp up my chances of reading my goal of 25 books. I probably have already read that many in 2015 so far, but I only started the challenge a few months back.
I didn't really need any more books as my shelves are full with ones I've not touched since buying [please tell me you all do this too??] but seeings as I was going travelling I prefer to take my Kindle and save on some kilos of luggage.
This book is actually the last instalment of Cleeves' Shetland Quartet, I haven't read the others but I don't actually think the stories all entwine. As far as a mystery novel goes, it was pretty lacking, I didn't actually find myself that concerned or excited to find out 'who done it', I found myself more getting wrapped around the characters of Sandy, Perez & Joseph, trying to unscramble their own views and opinions of what happened.
Saying all of the above though, and quite contradictory, once I had actually found out who did it did shock me and I had to read the paragraph a couple of times to get my head around it!
I think if you're into mystery novels, or the idea of death and detective novels then this one is worth a read; its quite short so isn't going to take up all of your time reading it and isn't an awful story line.
Overall, I'd probably give it 3 stars out of 5, so very was okay... but could be better.
Have you read this? Did you think the same or total opposite to me? Please let me know!!
