I continue on my quest to read most of this woman's books! This is actually the first one Bolton wrote and I finally got the backstory for one of the characters who show up in the Lacey Flint series. So that's nice.

Apart from that? I figured out the plot and most of the twists before I was even halfway through and then had to spend AGES waiting for the characters to catch up. I'm not sure if that's just me ruining my own fun or if it was badly written. Or maybe just too predictable?

Either way, this is clearly not the best of Bolton's books, no, but I quite like the characters (again). The lore about the Shetland islands was also very interesting, even if the rest of the story was somewhat flimsy at times. Still, not bad.

Personally, I seem to enjoy Bolton's stand alones more than the Lacey Flint series.
