thoroughly enjoyed this and will definately be looking out for more from this author! have recommended to damily and friends.

Very atmospheric ( isolated Shetland island , haunted castle and plenty of snow),and a very suspenseful story,much beter than "The Bluebell Killers",(maybe because Corrie,the inspector's wife,and her" catering business" play a smaller part in this story and his sergeant spends less time on all kinds of greasy fast-food).All in all, a very good read if one likes modern, classic mystery stories.

While investigating the death of a prostitute in London, Detective Inspector Jack Dawes is seconded to the Shetlands Island and Doomdochry Castle to help out a understaffed unit. His brief is to discover if a female's death was murder or not. But he is unable to initially unravel the mystery and not before a body is found.
Just about kept my interest going to read to the end though it had some likable characters.
