I feel as if I am there, on Fair Isle or Lerwick, in the home of Mima, or Jackie, or looking at the landscape as Sandy Wilson walks to Setter. All of this is what makes me feel I've been there, when I haven't, and makes me want to visit and see the crofts and the sheep--and the people. More perfect than all of this is the mystery that unfolds as Jimmy Perez, in his inimitable style, peels away the layers of the characters, the suspects, the families, His curiosity is the reader's. Again and again I believe I know who the murderer is. Ann Cleeves is clever and expert at casting doubts and weaving a tale that points to first one and then another. In the end, I am always wrong. That doesn't reflect badly on me! Ann Cleeves is a master, and I recommend ALL of this series. I am finishing the fourth, and last, but I am looking forward to other books she has written. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Deadly relics *by B***) on January 5, 2011* I really liked this book. Ann Cleeves is a terrific writer who has so much skill at evoking a sense of place and its living breathing atmosphere."Red Bones" is part of the Inspector Jimmy Perez series set in the Shetland Islands, where "insular" takes on definitive meaning. "Red..." opens with the shooting of a feisty old woman, the owner of a archeological site that is being excavated by a PhD student and her assistant. The killing appears to be accidental, although how it could have occurred is unclear, even to the man who has confessed to the shooting. The incident is laid to rest by the authorities despite some misgivings by Inspector Perez. Shortly thereafter, a second death occurs and Perez isn't buying the theory that it is a suicide. The mystery is slowly revealed and concluded with an intelligent spin that the author has kept up her sleeve throughout the story.So, excellent mystery story and clever ending. But better--much better--is the finely crafted evocation of this small northern place and how it feels to live there. The author must be more than a little bit of a naturalist as she describes with real feeling how the sea, fields, sky, etc. look, feel and smell. She includes details like the specific names of local birds and how they relate to the weather, season or even the foretelling of events. Also enjoyable in "Red..." is the wonderful collection of characters included and how they think, react and interact as families and individuals. Cleeves convincingly argues that the islands' social history dictates the dynamics of relationships in the present and that past tragedies always carry forward in those small places. So, if your grandmother did my grandmother wrong, you share responsibility for the alleged deed.A totally enjoyable read and recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The book is even better than the episode! *by N***Z on April 23, 2024* I love the Shetland series with Douglas Henshall and now with the same folks in the police station and Jensen (Ashley? maybe?) coming on to take over for Jimmy Perez, the character. But now that I'm reading the books -- the books are always better, and more understanding of Jimmy and everybody else. Wonderful books, wonderful but more truncated as TV series need to be. Love them both. Just bought Blue Lightning, the next one and am reading that now. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/8466116-red-bones-a-thriller-shetland-island-mysteries-3-paperback-illustrated](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/8466116-red-bones-a-thriller-shetland-island-mysteries-3-paperback-illustrated) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
