This came up as a recommendation on Amazon from all of my Elizabeth Peters purchases. After reading the reviews, it seemed like a good risk. It was!
This "thriller" is quietly sinister and the setting of the Shetland Islands is cold and forboding. It's not a violent thriller in that sense, to me, it was more of a detective story. I really liked the characters who were interesting and so was the chilly setting of the Shetland Islands.
Great writing? No. Descriptive, though, and interesting. The tangled web of characters and how the mystery unfolded really kept my interest. It was a read I looked forward to after fun evenings and days with the Stevenson's in Rapid City. Will I get another one by this author? Maybe.
