Lead Review

• Book: Dead Water (5)
• Location: Shetland Islands
• Author: Ann Cleeves

“Ann Cleeves expertly combines a traditional detective story and a novel about love and death…These books are very precisely set in their unusual geographical environment, and every character, encounter and conversation is carefully described as each harbour and hillock, Up to page 366 the reader is shown everything, so it comes as a shock reminder when the detective takes a call that sends him running off to the action and the reader is not told who or what he or she said that this enjoyable novel is actually a conventional whodunit.” –Literary Review
