Ann Cleeves - Blue Lightning

Jimmy Perez has brought his fiancee to his old home in Fair Isle, which is also the location of a bird research centre, along with the inevitable tourism this attracts.  The woman who runs the site is found murdered, and as the centre is effectively cut off by storms, only one of a handful of residents could have committed the crime, and all seem to have a motive.

Rating: 5/10

Let's get one thing straight here.  I hate being nasty about a book, especially if it is obvious that blood, sweat and tears have gone into producing it, and the guilt weighs heavier if the author is critically acclaimed, but just maybe I expect more of them and am not one of the masses....  Review on SHOTS, link when it's posted.
