It is a cold January morning and Shetland lies buried beneath a deep layer of snow. Trudging home, Fran Hunter's eye is drawn to a vivid splash of colour on the white ground, ravens circling above. It is the strangled body of her teenage neighbour Catherine Ross. As Fran opens her mouth to scream, the ravens continue their deadly dance ...The locals on the quiet island stubbornly focus their gaze on one man - loner and simpleton Magnus Tait. But when police insist on opening out the investigation a veil of suspicion and fear is thrown over the entire community. For the first time in years, Catherine's neighbours nervously lock their doors, whilst a killer lives on in their midst...

This is the first in the excellent "Shetland Quartet" which I have read before & really enjoyed but as much I love this author, I've now too many "new" books waiting to be read, so this is going to set free & I hope it will be discovered by a reader who will enjoy it as much as I did :o)

Christmas has come early for this bookcrosser! Hope you enjoy this :o)

Released as part of the 2011 ULTIMATE CHALLENGE &
the 2011 CHRISTMAS IN JULY CHALLENGE (#13)

Woo Hoo! Christmas certainly has come early for me this year.
Thank you for the lovely surprise :)

Thank you Plum for introducing me to such a great author. I will definitely be on the look out for more Ann Cleeves' thrillers. I couldn't put this book down and although I always try and guess the killer there were so many choices I would never have got it right :)

Welcome to Bookcrossing!

You have found a travelling book. Why not join in the fun? Read, release and pass on but don't forget to write a Journal Entry telling us where you found the book, if you read it what you thought about it and where you are going to leave it. If you join bookcrossing before you do the entry you will get an alert when the next person writes up about it and can track its travels. If you prefer to just leave an Anonymous Journal Entry, it will brighten up my day either way. Oh and if you like the book sooooo much you just don't want to let it go that is fine too, maybe one day eh :)

Enjoy!!

Left for future guests.
