I always enjoy an Ann Cleeves book, be it the Shetland series or Vera. This was no different although the consistent body shaming did get on my nerves. Vera is fat we get it!

This book had a lot of characters each of which was well developed, I almost needed a map of who was who. The plot had numerous red herrings and I was kept guessing right to the end. What I really like about these books is that although the murder scene is described it is not too gruesome. There is a lot of subtle humour throughout which really made me smile. A good read.
