What to expect
'This series is a must-read for anyone who loves the sea, or islands, or joyous, intricate story-telling.' ANN CLEEVES
It's the dark nights in the run up to Christmas, and sailing sleuth Cass Lynch's first night on dry land is disturbed by strange noises outside her isolated cottage. Tiny footprints in the moonlit snow trail from her front door before mysteriously disappearing. Soon Cass learns others were visited by the same tiny feet in the night.
It looks like ingenious local teenagers playing tricks - but what happens when festive games turn deadly?
Cass soon finds out as a schoolboy disappears, leaving only a trail of footprints into the middle of a snowy field. She's determined to investigate, but uncovering the truth will also put her in danger . . .
Nail-biting and unputdownable, A Shetland Winter Mystery is the latest instalment in the much-loved Shetland Sailing Mystery series by Marsali Taylor. Perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves, Elly Griffiths and J M Dalgliesh.

A delight! Has all the hallmarks of a good audiobook - which for me are very different from a physical book. A plot which is intriguing enough to draw you in but not so complicated you can't keep track of it. Likeable lead characters and a colourful cast of locals. A fascinating setting with all the natural beauty, island lifestyle and myths and legends of Shetland. All narrated in a gorgeous accent at a measured pace. Some dark family dynamics but all in all a 'comfortable' listening experience.
