newly discovered author. i have seen her books many times at the library, but never checked them out. i like the recipes included in the books. have not read her other books, yet.

I rate this book a solid 4 stars. The cover classes it as a thriller, but I thought it was more of a mystery than a thriller. A woman named Mima is killed one night on Whalsay Island, part of the Shetland Islands, Scotland. At first it is thought to be an accident, because a neighbor was out shooting rabbits at midnight in fog and accidentally shot her. But DI Jimmie Perez suspects that there is more to this and keeps digging. A second person is found dead, possibly suicide. Perez does solve the case,but the killer is not revealed until near the end, and the author left enough false clues, that I wasn't sure of the who or why until it all came together at the end. Anne Cleeves writes descriptive books. This series, set in the Shetlands, is best read in order, as I have been doing. Perez is identified as a "Black Shetlander,"i.e. descended form a shipwrecked Spanish Armada sailor in 1588. Some quotes: Mima's house: "Her house was tucked into the hill and you came on it very suddenly." Evelyn Wilson, describing university students working on an archaeological dig: "The two lasses from the university were there. What nice wee girls they are, although I think that Hattie could do with a bit of feeding up.. She's a skinny little thing. All eyes and bone." Perez thinking about his boss, the Procurator Fiscal: "He found it hard to explain the role of the Fiscal to English colleagues. Even Fran couldn't grasp it. 'But what does she do?' Perez always said that she was a cross between a magistrate and a prosecuting lawyer, but Fran didn't even get that." Jimmie is in a relationship with Fran, an English woman. I read this library book in 4 days.

I do not typically immediately read a second book in a series. However in this case I made an exception. Boy am I ever glad that I did! This was a really good book. Fast pace, left you wanting more! Main character development was well thought out. Story line had enough twists to keep you reading Definitely recommend it. Ballducci picks up where he left off . Can't wait for the next one!

This book is INSANE. I never expected the twist coming. Highly recommend

I really enjoyed the twist on this classic fairy tale. I intend on reading more of these twisted Disney tales. Definitely worth the read.

Great book for a marine mammal and baseball lover. A very cute love story that follows both his and her story. I love the easy manner of writing. Very sweet and enjoyable. Going on to book two now.

Anyone who has seen James Veitch knows how funny he is! In the audiobook format of his book, Dot Con, he reads out his most hilarious email correspondences with various scammers. Both he and his co-reader make it extremely enjoyable to listen to.

This is the sequel to The Knife of Never Letting Go. You follow Todd and Viola as they try to escape and find sanctuary. Things are never as the appear and their mission turns deadly when more secrets are uncovered.

I liked this book- it was funny how the dog hid his brush and then got really dirty, and they didn't know who he was!

For sure on the erotic side. Very headstrong characters make this one more interesting and keeps you guessing how things will turn out. I enjoyed this one and found more from the author that I enjoyed too.
