A woman from London has disappeared on the island of Unst after a
hamefarin'. Detective Jimmy Perez and his sergeant Sandy Wilson set off
to investigate. When the pair arrive in Unst, a friend of the missing
woman tells them that she has received an email from her stating that to
not bother looking for her because she won't be alive! Sadly this
proves to be the case.
Jimmy puts in a call to Chief Inspector Willow Reeves asking her to join
him. Pathologist James Grieve and crime scene manager Vicki Hewitt
join the team. However it isn't long before Willow suggests that Jimmy
travel to London to continue that aspect of the investigation.
A few days later, after Jimmy has returned from London, one of the
owners of the guest house they are staying in is found dead on the
nearby beach. Jimmy is sure that the death is connected to the woman's
death. But how can they prove it?
The case seems to begin to unravel towards the end of Ann Cleeves'
murder mystery, but fog and a lost woman help Perez solve it. A very
good read.
