Ann Cleeves Shetland Series 8 Books Collection Set

Product Information

That said, it was still an enjoyable and worthwhile read, combining facts about Shetland and her books and the TV series made from them, with her personal experiences there. As befits someone who has set her characters in the contemporary landscape, she does not give a token nod to modern lifestyles, they are central. I was very glad of the map which revealed that the Shetland geography in my head had been way off the reality.

Tragedy strikes the island when an elderly woman is fatally shot in the dead of night, a devastating incident that appears to be an accident. Detective Jimmy Perez, intimately familiar with the intricate dynamics of the island community, is summoned to the scene by his own colleague and the grieving grandson of the victim, Sandy Wilson.

Her relationship with the archipelago began in 1975, when she took a job as assistant cook at the Fair Isle bird observatory. On Fair Isle Ann met her late husband Tim, a visiting ornithologist, and it was on a return trip that a single stark image provided inspiration for her first Shetland novel. The sparse landscape and the emptiness of the sea have bred a fierce and secretive people. Mima Wilson was a recluse. She had her land, her pride and her family. As Jimmy looks to the islanders for answers, he finds instead two feuding families whose envy, greed and bitterness have lasted generations. A strange Englishman spoils the fun when he bursts into tears claiming neither to know who he is nor where he comes from. The man is found the following day hanging from a rafter. Detective Jimmy Perez is set in his belief that the man has been murdered. This belief is strengthened when Bella’s musician nephew is also murdered.
