What to expect
A woman disappears under ghostly circumstances, and Inspector Jimmy Perez must separate fact from fiction in Thin Air, the sixth mystery in the Shetland detective series from Ann Cleeves.
Now a major BBC One drama, Shetland, starring Douglas Henshall.
A group of old university friends leave the bright lights of London, travelling to Shetland to celebrate the marriage of one of their friends to a local. But late on the night of the wedding party, one of them, Eleanor, disappears – apparently into thin air.
Detectives Jimmy Perez and Willow Reeves are dispatched to investigate. Before she went missing, Eleanor claimed to have seen the ghost of a local child who drowned in the 1920s. Jimmy and Willow are convinced that there is more to Eleanor’s disappearance than they first thought. Is there a secret that lies behind the myth? One so shocking that many years later someone would kill to protect it?

Another wonderfully atmospheric Shetland mystery, so intriguing it seems impossible to solve but the eventual uncovering of the culprit makes everything fall into place. I particularly enjoyed the mythical, folklore aspect and the hints of potential romantic attachments forming between certain characters. Worth reading the series in order to follow these relationships.
