Dead Water | 
pickA Shetland journalist who has been working in London returns to the islands only to turn up dead in the Fiscal's yoal. Jimmy Perez, still traumatised by the events of the last book, reluctantly helps with the investigation.
An absorbing read that left me disorientated whenever I had to resurface to deal with real life.
pickRereading for #travelbybook #shetland and I just want to give Jimmy Perez a hug, tell him everything will be okay, and make him a cup of tea. 🫖
pickI started reading this Monday afternoon, and had trouble putting it down. Another excellent installment in this series. I am no good at all at figuring out the killer in any Cleeves novel, which is what I think makes them so compelling for me.

Finished all books this past week with the exception of the last row. I am at different reading stages with each of those three.
1,321 pages read. Finished listening to The Booksellers Secret, on ch. 11 out of 24 in A Line to Kill.
Just starting this book 4 in the Shetland Island series, featuring the gutted, shadow of a detective, Jimmy Perez. #fabulousfebruary #readathon
pickAfter finishing the last book in this series I immediately ordered the remaining books. This wasn‘t my favorite of the Shetland books and I am wary about the new character we were introduced to. However I always enjoy my time with Perez and end each book wanting more.
pickI really wanted to give this book 5 ⭐️, but it seemed to drag on a little too long.
4⭐️
“ He‘d never been sociable, but these days he found small talk impossible “.

pickAnother good Shetland book. I liked the involvement of Rhona Laing and the addition of Willow Reeves to shake up the investigating dynamic. Now waiting about 15 weeks for the next book in the series 😬
pickUp to 5/10 in this series now and really enjoying it. Liked how the author wrote about Perez in this one after the trauma in the last one. A good read and didn‘t guess the killer!
Book number 5 from one of my favourite series, The Shetlands Series by Ann Cleeves.

Library haul ❤️
This book reminds me of the show Broadchurch. Murder in a small coastal town, female lead detective. It is 72 degrees with a light breeze, I think I will stay in this reading spot by the honeysuckle for awhile.
Book mail today. From U.K. book depository #mysteries #british islands.
A good book and a glass of champagne 🥂 having a little relax before #datenight #midweekweekend. I‘m a little unsure about continuing with the Shetland series as I didn‘t like the book before Dead Water, but my husband assured me this book is worth it. #shetland
pickOften by the time an author gets this far into a series things stagnate. Enough changes to keep things fresh but original feel of previous books is still here. Really like new character DI Willow Reeves. My Library doesn't have next one in series. So I bought it and will donate once I've read.

"Perez thought that sounded like something from the Jane Austen novels Fran had enjoyed so much. He'd tried to read them to please her, but they always sent him to sleep, so he'd never found out how they ended."
Oh Jimmy at least you tried. ?

Y'all know I love a good rebel daughter. ?
"she's a God-botherer! Another. As if there aren't enough already in this case. Willow's parents had been Buddhists in a vague, undemanding way, and she'd rejected all ideas of the supernatural before leaving school, had become an aggressive atheist. Another form of rebellion." #rebel #willow #shetland
Another great book series, this is the 5th one! Already gripping me in! #books #crime #bookcovers #bookmad #current read #booksgalore
pickBk5 in the Shetland series finds DI Jimmy Perez a changed man after the end of Blue Lightning. No longer the quiet, patient detective, he struggles with his anger and being a dad to Cassie. When a journalist comes back to Shetland & is found murdered, the new Inspector, Willow Reeves, expects Jimmy to work on the case with her. But can he pull it together, does he really want to? I enjoyed this, I like that Cleeves portrays grief realistically.4⭐️
#bookishspring2017 #day6 #bookandtea I'm going with herbal tea tonight,my chamomile,honey & vanilla because I've had too much caffeine today. I used to drink at least 6 cups of coffee a day until a year or so ago when I started having palpitations & anxiety all the time. These days I have 1 coffee, maybe 2 black teas & then it's all herbal tea. At first it's like drinking brewed garden clippings but once you get used to it, it's quite refreshing.
