Jimmy Perez has returned to Fair Isle to introduce his parents to his
fiancé, Fran The weather becomes a direct contrast to the island's
name. Jimmy's mother sets up a party to celebrate the pending nuptials
in the birding centre. Later that night a woman is killed at the
centre. The killer must be one of those staying in the centre. How was
Jimmy to handle it? Transportation to the island was impossible in the
storm.
Was the obvious killer the victim's stepdaughter? The pair had argued
the night before in front of witnesses. Jimmy doesn't think that the
obvious is really that obvious. Not having a proper forensic team
available, Fran helps out by taking photos of the crime scene.
Checking out the victim's trysting spot, Jimmy discovers the body of
another woman. The killing is very similar to the first. This time the
weather allows a forensic team to get in. Unfortunately the forensic
team finds nothing of value. Will Jimmy catch the killer before he
kills again?
Author Anne Cleeves has written an intriguing murder mystery that will
have the reader on the edge of their seat in the closing pages. An
excellent read, hard to put down. I'm looking forward to reading the
sequel.
