What to expect
A man with no memory is found dead and suspicion clouds the community. Inspector Jimmy Perez must hunt for a calculating killer in White Nights, the second mystery in the Shetland detective series from Ann Cleeves.
Now a major BBC One drama, Shetland, starring Douglas Henshall.
On Shetland, the launch of an exhibition at The Herring House art gallery is disturbed – a stranger bursts into tears, claiming not to remember who he is or where he comes from. The next day, Inspector Jimmy Perez finds his dead body in a fisherman’s hut.
Initially, it seems to be a straightforward case of suicide – yet this is no desperate act. Instead, it soon becomes clear, this is the work of a cold-blooded killer. As Perez investigates, he finds himself mired in the hidden secrets of a small community. Then another body is found.
Perez knows he must find the killer before another death occurs. But it is midsummer, an unsettling time when the sun never really sets in Shetland and nothing is quite as it seems . . .

Another atmospheric mystery with an extremely intriguing beginning and a conclusion you don't see coming but which ties all the puzzling pieces together. As usual it has Ann Cleeves' sympathetic rendering of relationships and community dynamics. A very enjoyable book.
